Proverbs 6:13-22 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

13. He winks with his eyes. He makes signals with his feet. He motions with his fingers.

14. His plans are evil. He has lies in his heart. He is always stirring up fights.

15. Trouble will catch up with him in an instant. He will suddenly be destroyed. Nothing can save him.

16. There are six things the Lord hates. In fact, he hates seven things.

17. The Lord hates proud eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that kill those who aren't guilty.

18. He also hates hearts that make evil plans, feet that are quick to do evil,

19. any witness who pours out lies, and anyone who stirs up family fights.

20. My son, keep your father's commands. Don't turn away from your mother's teaching.

21. Tie them to your heart forever. Put them around your neck.

22. When you walk, they will guide you. When you sleep, they will watch over you. When you wake up, they will speak to you.
