New Testament

Proverbs 6:13-23 New Living Translation (NLT)

13. signaling their deceit with a wink of the eye,a nudge of the foot, or the wiggle of fingers.

14. Their perverted hearts plot evil,and they constantly stir up trouble.

15. But they will be destroyed suddenly,broken in an instant beyond all hope of healing.

16. There are six things the lord hates—no, seven things he detests:

17. haughty eyes,a lying tongue,hands that kill the innocent,

18. a heart that plots evil,feet that race to do wrong,

19. a false witness who pours out lies,a person who sows discord in a family.

20. My son, obey your father’s commands,and don’t neglect your mother’s instruction.

21. Keep their words always in your heart.Tie them around your neck.

22. When you walk, their counsel will lead you.When you sleep, they will protect you.When you wake up, they will advise you.

23. For their command is a lampand their instruction a light;their corrective disciplineis the way to life.
