New Testament

Proverbs 6:9-18 New King James Version (NKJV)

9. How long will you slumber, O sluggard?When will you rise from your sleep?

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

11. So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler,And your need like an armed man.

12. A worthless person, a wicked man,Walks with a perverse mouth;

13. He winks with his eyes,He shuffles his feet,He points with his fingers;

14. Perversity is in his heart,He devises evil continually,He sows discord.

15. Therefore his calamity shall come suddenly;Suddenly he shall 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,Hands that shed innocent blood,

18. A heart that devises wicked plans,Feet that are swift in running to evil,
