"An apostate man, a harmful man, walks with a perverse mouth;"
— Proverbs 6:12, Catholic Public Domain Version
“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;”
“A man that is an apostate, an unprofitable man, walketh with a perverse mouth,”
“A good-for-nothing man is an evil-doer; he goes on his way causing trouble with false words;”
“A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.”
How long will you slumber, you lazy one? When will you rise up from your sleep?
You will sleep a little, you will slumber a little, you will fold your hands a little to sleep,
and then destitution will meet with you, like a traveler, and poverty, like an armed man. Yet truly, if you would be diligent, then your harvest will arrive like a fountain, and destitution will flee far from you.
An apostate man, a harmful man, walks with a perverse mouth;
he winks with the eyes, touches with the foot, speaks with the finger.
With a depraved heart he devises evil, and at all times he sows conflict.
To this one, his perdition will arrive promptly, and he shall be crushed suddenly: he will no longer have any remedy.
