Wisdom of God from Proverbs 6
The Malicious Man
12 A worthless person, a wicked man, who goes around speaking dishonestly,13 who winks his eyes, signals with his feet, and gestures with his fingers,
14 who plots evil with perversity in his heart—he stirs up trouble constantly.
15 Therefore calamity will strike him suddenly; he will be shattered instantly—beyond recovery.

Integrity, Justice, and Foolishness
Excerpts from Proverbs 19
Better is the poor who walks in his integrity than one who is perverse in his lips, and is a fool. Also it is not good for a soul to be without knowledge, and he sins who hastens with his feet. The foolishness of a man twists his way, and his heart frets against the Lord.
A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who speaks lies will not escape. A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who speaks lies shall perish. A man of great wrath will suffer punishment; for if you rescue him, you will have to do it again. Listen to counsel and receive instruction, that you may be wise in your latter days.
There are many plans in a man’s heart, nevertheless the Lord’s counsel—that will stand. What is desired in a man is kindness, and a poor man is better than a liar. The fear of the Lord leads to life, and he who has it will abide in satisfaction; he will not be visited with evil. Strike a scoffer, and the simple will become wary; Rebuke one who has understanding, and he will discern knowledge.
A disreputable witness scorns justice, and the mouth of the wicked devours iniquity. Judgments are prepared for scoffers, and beatings for the backs of fools.
