Proverbs 16:28-30

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁸ A perverse man sows strife, and a whisperer separates close friends.^(A)

²⁹ The exceedingly grasping, covetous, and violent man entices his neighbor, leading him in a way that is not good.

³⁰ He who shuts his eyes to devise perverse things and who compresses his lips [as if in concealment] brings evil to pass.
