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,

        feet that are swift in running to mischief,
19         a false witness who speaks lies,
        and he who sows discord among brethren.
