“A naughty person, a wicked man …
winketh with his eyes.”
Naughty, wicked people wink. (Like Sarah Palin)

1. One thought is that he is deceitful in his body language toward you
a. When somebody winks at you
i. Are they giving you a “secret signal”
ii. That says “trust me”
iii. Or does it say “what I just said is a lie”
b. When somebody shuffles their feet
i. Is this an indication they‘re hiding something
ii. Or “tap-dancing” around the truth
c. When somebody uses their hands a lot
i. Are they just being expressive
ii. Or are they exaggerating the truth even more so
2. Another thought is that he is secretly signaling others
a. He is telling you one thing
i. All the while winking at his conspirators
b. He is signaling signs with his feet to others
i. This is still used in the East today
c. He is using secret “hand signs”
i. To communicate with his conspirators
3. Either way, this person is deceitful
a. And we need to avoid
b. And walk away
c. From these types of people
