¹⁶ Here are six things that the Lord hates—
    seven, in fact,^[a] are detestable to him:^[b]
17 Arrogant eyes,
    a lying tongue,
        and hands shedding innocent blood;
¹⁸ a heart crafting evil plans,
    feet running swiftly to wickedness,
¹⁹ a false witness snorting lies,
    and someone sowing quarrels between brothers.

¹³ The fear of the Lord is to hate evil.
    Pride, arrogance, an evil lifestyle,
        and perverted speech I despise.

⁸ Don’t rebuke a mocker or he will hate you.
    Rebuke a wise person, and he will love you.

¹² Hatred awakens contention,
    but love covers all transgressions.

¹⁷ A quick tempered person does foolish things,
    and a devious man is hated.

¹⁷ A vegetarian meal^[a] served with love is better
    than a big, thick steak^[b] with a plateful of^[c] animosity.

²⁴ Someone who hates hides behind his words,
    harboring deceit within himself.
