Proverbs 6:10-17 Modern English Version (MEV)

10. Yet a little sleep, a little slumber,a little folding of the hands to sleep—

11. so will your poverty come upon you like a stalker,and your need as an armed man.

12. A wayward person, a wicked man,walks with a perverse mouth.

13. He winks with his eyes,he signals with his feet,he motions with his fingers;

14. perversity is in his heart,he devises mischief continually, he sows discord.

15. Therefore his calamity will come suddenly;in a moment he will be broken without remedy.

16. These six things the Lord hates,yes, seven are an abomination to him:

17. a proud look,a lying tongue,and hands that shed innocent blood,
