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,
¹⁸         a heart that devises wicked imaginations,
        feet that are swift in running to mischief,
¹⁹         a false witness who speaks lies,
        and he who sows discord among brethren.

³ The Lord will not allow the soul of the righteous to famish,
    but He casts away the desire of the wicked.

⁶ Blessings are on the head of the just,
    but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.

⁷ The memory of the just is blessed,
    but the name of the wicked will rot.

¹⁶ The labor of the righteous tends to life,
    the fruit of the wicked to sin.

²⁴ The fear of the wicked will come upon him,
    but the desire of the righteous will be granted.

²⁵ As the whirlwind passes, so is the wicked no more,
    but the righteous has an everlasting foundation.

²⁸ The hope of the righteous will be gladness,
    but the expectation of the wicked will perish.

²⁹ The way of the Lord is strength to the upright,
    but destruction will come to the workers of iniquity.

³⁰ The righteous will never be removed,
    but the wicked will not inhabit the earth.

³ The integrity of the upright will guide them,
    but the perverseness of transgressors will destroy them.

⁵ The righteousness of the upright will direct his way,
    but the wicked will fall by his own wickedness.

⁶ The righteousness of the upright will deliver them,
    but transgressors will be taken by their schemes.

⁷ When a wicked man dies, his expectation will perish,
    and the hope of unjust men perishes.

⁸ The righteous is delivered out of trouble,
    and the wicked comes in his place.

⁹ A hypocrite with his mouth destroys his neighbor,
    but through knowledge the just will be delivered.

¹⁰ When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices;
    and when the wicked perish, there is shouting.
