Proverbs 6:18

a heart that plots wicked schemes,
feet eager to run to evil,

When the Lord saw that man’s wickedness was widespread on the earth and that every scheme his mind thought of was nothing but evil all the time,

because their feet run toward trouble
and they hurry to commit murder.

Their feet run after evil,
and they rush to shed innocent blood.
Their thoughts are sinful thoughts;
ruin and wretchedness are in their paths.

Their feet are swift to shed blood;

Even on his bed he makes malicious plans.
He sets himself on a path that is not good
and does not reject evil.

The one who plots evil
will be called a schemer.

Wash the evil from your heart, Jerusalem,
so that you will be delivered.
How long will you harbor
malicious thoughts within you?

Woe to those who dream up wickedness
and prepare evil plans on their beds!
At morning light they accomplish it
because the power is in their hands.

Do not plot evil in your hearts against your neighbor, and do not love perjury, for I hate all this”—this is the Lord’s declaration.
