Proverbs 6:12 Context
10Yet a little sleepe, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleepe. 11So shall thy pouertie come as one that trauaileth, and thy want as an armed man. 12¶ A naughtie person, a wicked man walketh with a froward mouth. 13He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feete, hee teacheth with his fingers. 14Frowardnesse is in his heart, he deuiseth mischiefe continually, he soweth discord.
