12A man of worthlessness, a man of iniquity, Walking with perverseness of mouth, 13Winking with his eyes, speaking with his feet, Directing with his fingers, 14Frowardness is in his heart, devising evil at all times, Contentions he sendeth forth.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

A worthless person, a wicked man,

goes about with crooked speech,

winks with his eyes, signals with his feet,

points with his finger,

with perverted heart devises evil,

continually sowing discord;

NIVNew International Version (2011)

A troublemaker and a villain,

who goes about with a corrupt mouth,

who winks maliciously with his eye,

signals with his feet

and motions with his fingers,

who plots evil with deceit in his heart—

he always stirs up conflict.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

A worthless person, a wicked man

goes around speaking dishonestly,

winking his eyes, signaling with his feet,

and gesturing with his fingers.

He always plots evil with perversity in his heart;

he stirs up trouble.

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.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

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.

KJV 1900King James Version

A naughty person, a wicked man,

Walketh with a froward mouth.

He winketh with his eyes,

He speaketh with his feet,

He teacheth with his fingers;

Frowardness is in his heart,

He deviseth mischief continually;

He soweth discord.
