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.

¹⁸ He that hideth hatred with lying lips,
    and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.

¹⁹ The lip of truth shall be established for ever:
    but a lying tongue is but for a moment.

²² Lying lips are abomination to the Lord:
    but they that deal truly are his delight.

⁵ A righteous man hateth lying:
    but a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame.

²⁰ He that hath a froward heart findeth no good:
    and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.

²² The desire of a man is his kindness:
    and a poor man is better than a liar.

⁶ The getting of treasures by a lying tongue
    is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.

²⁸ A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it;
and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
