Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

  • A 12 A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.
    • B 13-14 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.
  • A' 15 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.
    • B' 16-19 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
