Proverbs 16:28-30
Amplified Bible

28 
A perverse man spreads strife,
And one who gossips separates intimate friends.(A)
29 
A violent and exceedingly covetous man entices his neighbor [to sin],
And leads him in a way that is not good.
30 
He 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.
