New International Version (NIV)

30Whoever winks with their eye is plotting perversity;

whoever purses their lips is bent on evil.

30He who winks his eyes does so to devise perverse things;

He who compresses his lips brings evil to pass.

30He who winks his eyes does so to devise perverse things;

He who compresses his lips brings evil to pass.

30He who [slyly] winks his eyes does so to plot perverse things;

And he who compresses his lips [as if in a secret signal] brings evil to pass.

30He who winks his eye devises perversity;

he who purses his lips is bent on evil.

30Whoever winks with their eye is planning to do wrong.

Whoever closes their lips tightly is up to no good.
