²² The Lord detests lying lips,
    but he delights in those who tell the truth.

⁶ You will destroy those who tell lies.
    The Lord detests murderers and deceivers.

²⁰ The Lord detests people with crooked hearts,
    but he delights in those with integrity.

¹⁶ There are six things the Lord hates—
    no, seven things he detests:
¹⁷ haughty eyes,
    a lying tongue,
    hands that kill the innocent,

²⁴ But those who wish to boast
    should boast in this alone:
that they truly know me and understand that I am the Lord
    who demonstrates unfailing love
    and who brings justice and righteousness to the earth,
and that I delight in these things.
    I, the Lord, have spoken!

¹⁵ The leaders of Israel are the head,
    and the lying prophets are the tail.

11 The Lord detests the use of dishonest scales,
    but he delights in accurate weights.

⁸ The Lord detests the sacrifice of the wicked,
    but he delights in the prayers of the upright.
