A worthless person—a wicked man

These two words have the same meaning and emphasize how bad this person is. AT: "A person with no valuean evil man"

lives by the crookedness of his speech

AT: "constantly tells lies" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)

winking his eyes

If someone winks, he closes one eye very briefly as a secret signal to another person. This might be a sign of trust, of approval, or of something else. AT: "trying to gain your trust by a certain way of looking"

winking his eyes, making signals with his feet, and pointing with his fingers

All three of these phrases describe a way in which the evil person communicates secretly to deceive other people.
