Proverbs 6:18
An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, Feet that be swift in running to mischief,
In context
15 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; Suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.
16 These six things doth the LORD hate: Yea, seven are an abomination unto him: 17 A proud look, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood, 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: 21 Bind them continually upon thine heart, And tie them about thy neck.
