Watch Out for This Kind of Person – And Don’t Become One
A Simple Study on Proverbs 6:12–14
“A worthless person, a wicked man, walks with a corrupt mouth, winks with his eyes, signals with his feet, and points with his fingers. His heart is full of evil. He is always planning trouble. He causes fights among people.”— Proverbs 6:12–14
These verses may sound harsh at first, but they carry deep warning, wisdom, and even hope. GOD is not just exposing a certain type of person — HE is also showing us what to avoid and what to become.
Let’s go step by step.
1. Who is this "worthless and wicked" person?
This doesn't mean someone who is poor, uneducated, or struggling. GOD is talking about someone who knows right from wrong but chooses evil again and again.He enjoys causing trouble. He doesn't care about truth. He lives for himself, even if others get hurt.
His life shows no fear of GOD.He may pretend to be nice or wise, but his heart is full of pride, selfishness, and sin.
2. “Walks with a corrupt mouth” – His words hurt people
This person talks in twisted ways. He lies, gossips, and manipulates.He says one thing to your face and another behind your back.
The Bible says, “Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks” (Luke 6:45).So, when a person’s mouth is full of filth and confusion, their heart is sick too.
3. “Winks… signals… points…” – Small signs, big dangers
This part may sound strange, but it means he does secret, sneaky things.He uses looks and body language to fool people or secretly cause fights.
He may act innocent, but inside, he is playing games.That’s how many people divide families, churches, or teams — without ever shouting.
4. “His heart is full of evil… plans trouble…”
This is serious. It shows that evil is not just in his actions but deep in his heart.He doesn't make mistakes once in a while — this is his lifestyle.
He is always thinking of ways to twist the truth, break unity, or bring others down.
This is not just a bad attitude — it’s a heart problem.
5. “He causes fights…” — This is what GOD hates
Proverbs later says in verses 16–19 that GOD hates those who cause division, especially among brothers and sisters in the faith.
Whenever someone keeps creating drama, confusion, and mistrust, they are not led by the HOLY SPIRIT. They are being used by the enemy to damage relationships and stop GOD’s work.
But What If I See Some of This in Myself?
Here’s the truth: All of us have at some point spoken wrongly, hurt others, or had a proud heart.But the difference is this: A child of GOD doesn’t stay in that place.
When we humble ourselves before GOD, confess our sins, and ask for HIS help — HE forgives us, changes us, and makes us righteous through JESUS CHRIST.
“If we confess our sins, HE is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” – 1 John 1:9
“Therefore, if anyone is in CHRIST, he is a new creation.” – 2 Corinthians 5:17
We don’t become perfect by trying harder — we become righteous because of JESUS.HE gives us a new heart, a clean mouth, and a desire to bring peace, not trouble.
How Do We Respond?
-
Look at your own heart first — not just your behavior but what’s going on inside.
-
Ask GOD to clean anything impure — and HE will, lovingly.
-
Stay away from people who constantly cause drama — pray for them, but don’t let them pull you in.
-
Be a peacemaker, not a divider. JESUS said, “Blessed are the peacemakers.”

✝️ In CHRIST, You’re Made New
No matter what your past has been like — even if you once lived like this wicked person — if you turn to JESUS, HE can make you completely new.
HE doesn’t just clean your outside behavior — HE changes your heart.
“For our sake, GOD made JESUS, who knew no sin, to be sin for us, so that in HIM we might become the righteousness of GOD.” – 2 Corinthians 5:21
“For our sake, GOD made JESUS, who knew no sin, to be sin for us, so that in HIM we might become the righteousness of GOD.” – 2 Corinthians 5:21
Final Encouragement
This world is full of people who love to tear down, divide, and deceive.But you, as a follower of JESUS, are called to be different — to live in truth, speak in love, walk in humility, and bring peace wherever you go.
And the best part? You don’t do it alone.CHRIST in you is your strength, your purity, your peace, and your righteousness.
May GOD Bless our Readers!
हिन्दी अनुवाद
ऐसे व्यक्ति से सावधान रहें – और खुद भी ऐसा न बनें
नीति वचन 6:12–14 पर एक सरल लेकिन गहरी आत्मिक सीख
शुरुआत में ये वचन सख्त लग सकते हैं, लेकिन इनमें गंभीर चेतावनी, आत्मिक बुद्धि और आशा छिपी हुई है। परमेश्वर केवल यह नहीं बता रहे कि दुष्ट व्यक्ति कैसा होता है, बल्कि हमें यह भी दिखा रहे हैं कि हमें कैसा नहीं बनना है — और साथ ही, HIS अनुग्रह से हम कैसे बदल सकते हैं।
आइए इसे आसान भाषा में समझते हैं:
1. यह “निकम्मा और दुष्ट” व्यक्ति कौन है?
उसका जीवन दिखाता है कि वह परमेश्वर के विरुद्ध चल रहा है, और उसका दिल सत्य से दूर है।
2. “उलटे वचन बोलते हुए चलता है” — उसकी बातें घायल करती हैं
3. “आंख मारता है, पैरों से इशारा करता है…” – छोटे इशारे, बड़े पाप
इसी तरह कई लोग परिवार, चर्च या संस्थानों में अंदर ही अंदर फूट डालते हैं — बिना ज़ोर से कुछ बोले।
4. “उसके मन में कपट भरा है… वह बुरे कामों की युक्ति सोचता रहता है”
यह केवल बुरा स्वभाव नहीं है — यह परमेश्वर-विरोधी आत्मा है।
5. “वह झगड़े फैलाता है…” — यह बात परमेश्वर को घृणित है
लेकिन अगर ऐसा कुछ मुझमें भी है तो?
“यदि हम अपने पापों को मान लें, तो वह विश्वासयोग्य और धर्मी है, कि हमारे पाप क्षमा करे और हमें सब अधर्म से शुद्ध करे।” – 1 यूहन्ना 1:9“जो कोई मसीह में है, वह नया सृष्टि है। पुरानी बातें जाती रहीं; देखो, सब कुछ नया हो गया है।” – 2 कुरिन्थियों 5:17
हमें क्या करना चाहिए?
-
पहले अपने दिल की जांच करें, न कि सिर्फ अपने व्यवहार की।
-
परमेश्वर से प्रार्थना करें कि वह हर बुराई को उजागर और दूर करे।
-
ऐसे लोगों से सावधान रहें जो हमेशा झगड़े, फूट और अफवाहें फैलाते हैं — उनके लिए प्रार्थना करें, लेकिन खुद को उनसे बचाकर रखें।
-
शांतिदूत बनें, फूट का कारण नहीं।जैसा यीशु ने कहा, “धन्य हैं वे जो मेल कराते हैं।”
✝️ मसीह में तुम एक नई रचना हो
भले ही तुम्हारा अतीत किसी दुष्ट व्यक्ति जैसा रहा हो, यदि तुम अब यीशु मसीह की ओर मुड़ते हो, तो वह तुम्हें पूरी तरह नया बना सकता है।
वह केवल तुम्हारे व्यवहार को नहीं सुधारता — वह तुम्हारा हृदय बदल देता है।
“जो पाप को नहीं जानता था, उसी को परमेश्वर ने हमारे लिए पाप ठहराया, कि हम उसके द्वारा परमेश्वर की धार्मिकता बन जाएं।” – 2 कुरिन्थियों 5:21
