Proverbs 6:18–20

18 a heart that devises wicked schemes,

feet that are quick to rush into evil,

19 a false witness who pours out lies

and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.

20 My son, keep your father’s command

and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.

18 a heart that devises wicked plans,

feet that make haste to run to evil,

19 a false witness who breathes out lies,

and one who sows discord among brothers.

20 My son, keep your father’s commandment,

and forsake not your mother’s teaching.

18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations,

Feet that be swift in running to mischief,

19 A false witness that speaketh lies,

And he that soweth discord among brethren.

20 My son, keep thy father’s commandment,

And forsake not the law of thy mother:

18 a heart that plots evil,

feet that race to do wrong,

19 a false witness who pours out lies,

a person who sows discord in a family.

20 My son, obey your father’s commands,

and don’t neglect your mother’s instruction.

18 a mind that thinks up evil plans,

feet that are quick to do evil,

19 a witness who lies,

and someone who starts arguments among families.

20 My son, keep your father’s commands,

and don’t forget your mother’s teaching.

18 A heart that deviseth wicked purposes,

Feet that are swift in running to mischief,

19 A false witness that uttereth lies,

And he that soweth discord among brethren.

20 My son, keep the commandment of thy father,

And forsake not the law of thy mother:

18 a heart that deviseth wicked imaginations; feet that are swift in running to mischief; 19 a false witness that uttereth lies, and he that soweth discords among brethren.

20 My son, observe thy father’s commandment, and forsake not the teaching of thy mother;

18 a mind devising wicked plans, 

feet that are quick to do wrong, 

19 a dishonest witness spitting out lies, 

and a person who spreads conflict among relatives. 

20 My son, 

obey the command of your father, 

and do not disregard the teachings of your mother. 

18 a heart that plots wicked schemes,

feet eager to run to evil,

19 a lying witness who gives false testimony,

and one who stirs up trouble among brothers.

20 My son, keep your father’s command,

and don’t reject your mother’s teaching.

18 a heart that devises wicked plans,

feet that hurry to run to evil,

19 a lying witness who testifies falsely,

and one who sows discord in a family.

20 My child, keep your father’s commandment,

and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.

18 a devising heart, plans of deception,

feet that hurry to run to evil,

19 a false witness who breathes lies

and sends out discord between brothers.

20 My child, keep the commandment of your father,

and do not disregard the instruction of your mother.

18 He also hates hearts that make evil plans,

feet that are quick to do evil,

19 any witness who pours out lies,

and anyone who stirs up family fights.

20 My son, keep your father’s commands.

Don’t turn away from your mother’s teaching.

18 A heart that devises wicked plans,

Feet that run rapidly to evil,

19 A false witness who utters lies,

And one who spreads strife among brothers.

20 My son, observe the commandment of your father

And do not forsake the teaching of your mother;
