¹⁶ These six things the Lord hates,
    yes, seven are an abomination to him:
¹⁷         a proud look,
        a lying tongue,
        and hands that shed innocent blood,
¹⁸         a heart that devises wicked imaginations,
        feet that are swift in running to mischief,
¹⁹         a false witness who speaks lies,
        and he who sows discord among brethren.

17 Better is a dry morsel with quietness
    than a house full of sacrifices with strife.

¹⁸ The lot causes contentions to cease,
    and keeps the mighty ones apart.

¹⁹ A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city,
    and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.
