Proverbs 6;12-19
12 Walks with a perverse mouth;
A worthless person, a wicked man, He winks with his eyes, Perversity is in his heart, Therefore his calamity shall come suddenly; These six things the Lord hates,are an abomination to Him: A proud look, A heart that devises wicked plans, A false witness who speaks lies,NKJV
13 He shuffles his feet, He points with his fingers;
14 He devises evil continually,He sows discord.
15 Suddenly he shall be broken without remedy.
16 Yes, seven
17 A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood,
18 Feet that are swift in running to evil,
19 And one who sows discord among brethren.
What It Says: A scoundrel and a villain go about with a corrupt mouth. One who plots deception with a wink of the eye or motioning of the feet or fingers. There is deceit in the heart as he always stirs up the dissension. Disaster will overtake him in an instant and he will be destroyed with no chance of remedy. There are six things that the Lord hates and seven that He detests. They are: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, false witnesses that pour out lies, and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.
What I Think: Those that plot evil and try to scam others are doomed. They may see a victory here and there and even be successful in their own eyes. That is not the case in God’s eyes. He despises this behavior and will ultimately deal with those who do these things. Why bother trying to get one over on other people? Why try to prosper from another? Instead be there for each other. Try to make other people become successful and find your victories in their pleasure. By doing this we will change the world! Love always conquers hate; you just have to keep the faith!!
The Best Verse: 6:14-15 who plots evil with deceit in his heart – he always stirs up dissension. Therefore disaster will overtake him in an instant; he will suddenly be destroyed-without remedy.
