¹⁶ These six things the Lord hates,
Yes, seven are an abomination to ^[a]Him:
^17 (A)A^[b] proud look,
^(B)A lying tongue,
^(C)Hands that shed innocent blood,
^18 (D)A heart that devises wicked plans,
^(E)Feet that are swift in running to evil,
^19 (F)A false witness who speaks lies,
And one who ^(G)sows discord among brethren.

^5 (A)Everyone proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord;
Though they join ^[a]forces, none will go unpunished.

¹⁸ Pride goes before destruction,
And a haughty spirit before ^[a]a fall.

^23 (A)A man’s pride will bring him low,
But the humble in spirit will retain honor.
