Proverbs 6:12 in context
Proverbs 6:9–15
9
How long will you sleep, sluggard?
When will you arise out of your sleep?
10
A little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to sleep—
11
so your poverty will come as a robber,
and your scarcity as an armed man.
12
Selected verse
A worthless person, a man of iniquity,
is he who walks with a perverse mouth,
13
who winks with his eyes, who signals with his feet,
who motions with his fingers,
14
in whose heart is perverseness,
who devises evil continually,
who always sows discord.
15
Therefore his calamity will come suddenly.
He will be broken suddenly, and that without remedy.
