16 There are six things that the Lord hates,
    seven things detestable to him:
17     snobbish eyes,
    a lying tongue,
    hands that spill innocent blood,
18     a heart set on wicked plans,
    feet that run quickly to evil,
19     a false witness who breathes lies,
    and one who causes conflicts among relatives.
