A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.

Verse 12 is found in chapter 6 of Proverbs. The description of the wicked man brings gestures, words, heart, and actions together in an integrated portrayal of deception. The list culminates in seven things the Lord hates, including pride, lying, violence against the innocent, wicked plans, and sowing discord among brothers. The structure shows that Proverbs does not separate intention from conduct: both form one pattern of wickedness.

Ein heilloser Mensch, ein schädlicher Mann geht mit verstelltem Munde,
El hombre malo, el hombre depravado, Anda en perversidad de boca;
L'homme pervers, l'homme inique, Marche la fausseté dans la bouche;
L’uomo scellerato, l’uomo da nulla, Procede con perversità di bocca.
O homem mau, o homem iníquo tem a boca pervertida.
