¹⁶ There are six things the Lord hates,^(A)
    seven that are detestable to him:
¹⁷         haughty eyes,^(B)
        a lying tongue,^(C)
        hands that shed innocent blood,^(D)
18         a heart that devises wicked schemes,
        feet that are quick to rush into evil,^(E)
19         a false witness^(F) who pours out lies^(G)
        and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.^(H)

¹⁸ Whoever conceals hatred with lying lips^(A)
    and spreads slander is a fool.

¹⁹ Truthful lips endure forever,
    but a lying tongue lasts only a moment.

²² The Lord detests lying lips,^(A)
    but he delights^(B) in people who are trustworthy.^(C)

²⁰ One whose heart is corrupt does not prosper;
    one whose tongue is perverse falls into trouble.

²² What a person desires is unfailing love^[a];
    better to be poor than a liar.

⁶ A fortune made by a lying tongue
    is a fleeting vapor and a deadly snare.^[a](A)

²⁸ A lying tongue hates those it hurts,
    and a flattering mouth^(A) works ruin.

³³ For as churning cream produces butter,
    and as twisting the nose produces blood,
    so stirring up anger produces strife.”
