God doesn't like winkers

You learn something every day. Today I learned (from J-Walk) that there are Biblical injunctions against winking:
A naughty person, a wicked man [or woman], walketh with a froward mouth. He winketh with his eyes ... he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord. Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy. Proverbs 6:12-15

He [or she] that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall. Proverbs 10:10

And as a bonus I also learned that "froward" is not a misspelling of "forward." It means "habitually disposed to disobedience and opposition [syn: headstrong, self-willed, willful]"
