Proverbs 6:16-19
Modern English Version
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.
Proverbs 6:16-19
Authorized (King James) Version
16 These six things doth the Lord hate:
yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17 a proud look, a lying tongue,
and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 an heart that deviseth wicked imaginations,
feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19 a false witness that speaketh lies,
and he that soweth discord among brethren.
Proverbs 17:1

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

than an house full of sacrifices with strife.
Proverbs 18:18-19

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.

Authorized (King James) Version
18 The lot causeth contentions to cease,
and parteth between the mighty.
