Bible in Basic English
"A good-for-nothing man is an evil-doer; he goes on his way causing trouble with false words;"
— Proverbs 6:12, Bible in Basic English
“A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.”
“A worthless person, a man of iniquity, Is he that walketh with a perverse mouth; ”
“A worthless person, a man of iniquity, is he who walks with a perverse mouth;”
“A worthless and wicked person walks around saying perverse things;”
How long will you be sleeping, O hater of work? when will you get up from your sleep?
A little sleep, a little rest, a little folding of the hands in sleep:
Then loss will come on you like an outlaw, and your need like an armed man
A good-for-nothing man is an evil-doer; he goes on his way causing trouble with false words;
Making signs with his eyes, rubbing with his feet, and giving news with his fingers;
His mind is ever designing evil: he lets loose violent acts.
For this cause his downfall will be sudden; quickly he will be broken, and there will be no help for him.
