who goes about with a corrupt mouth,

NLTNew Living Translation
What are worthless and wicked people like?
They are constant liars,
signaling their deceit with a wink of the eye,
a nudge of the foot, or the wiggle of fingers.
Their perverted hearts plot evil,
and they constantly stir up trouble.

A worthless man, an evil man,
goes around with deceitful speech.
Winking in his eye, shuffling in his foot,
pointing in his fingers,
perversion in his heart, he devises evil;
at all times he will send out discord.

A naughty person, a wicked man,
Walketh with a froward mouth.
He winketh with his eyes,

He teacheth with his fingers;
Frowardness is in his heart,
He deviseth mischief continually;
He soweth discord.
