"One who winks his eyes to plot perversities, one who compresses his lips, is bent on evil."
— Proverbs 16:30, World English Bible
“He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.”
“He that shutteth his eyes, it is to devise perverse things: He that compresseth his lips bringeth evil to pass. ”
“The one who winks his eyes devises perverse things, and one who compresses his lips has accomplished evil.”
“He that with fixed eyes deviseth wicked things, biting his lips, bringeth evil to pass.”
“He whose eyes are shut is a man of twisted purposes, and he who keeps his lips shut tight makes evil come about.”
“He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.”
A worthless man devises mischief. His speech is like a scorching fire.
A perverse man stirs up strife. A whisperer separates close friends.
A man of violence entices his neighbor, and leads him in a way that is not good.
One who winks his eyes to plot perversities, one who compresses his lips, is bent on evil.
Gray hair is a crown of glory. It is attained by a life of righteousness.
One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty; one who rules his spirit, than he who takes a city.
The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from Yahweh.
