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.

³¹ The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom:
    but the froward tongue shall be cut out.

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

²⁰ Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil:
    but to the counsellors of peace is joy.

²¹ There shall no evil happen to the just:
    but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.

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.

²⁵ A true witness delivereth souls:
    but a deceitful witness speaketh lies.

⁷ Excellent speech becometh not a fool:
    much less do lying lips a prince.

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

⁹ A false witness shall not be unpunished,
    and he that speaketh lies shall perish.

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

²⁸ A false witness shall perish:
    but the man that heareth speaketh constantly.
