    but to those who are humble, he gives favor.

¹⁶ There are six things Yahweh hates,
    and seven things are abominations of his soul:^[a]
17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue,
    and hands that shed innocent blood,
¹⁸ a devising heart, plans of deception,
    feet that hurry to run to evil,^[b]
19 a false witness who breathes lies
    and sends out discord^[c] between brothers.

² Pride comes, then disgrace comes,
    but wisdom is with the humble.

⁹ It is better to be lowly and a servant to someone^[a]
    than self-glorifying and lacking food.

⁷ There is one who acts rich but has nothing;^[a]
    another who pretends to be poor but has wealth.

¹⁰ Only by insolence is strife set up,
    and wisdom is with those who take advice.

²⁵ The house of the proud, Yahweh will tear it down,
    but he will maintain the property line^[a] of the widow.

³³ Fear of Yahweh is the instruction of the wise,
    and before honor comes humility.

⁵ An abomination of Yahweh are all who are arrogant of heart;^[a]
    rest assured,^[b] he will not go unpunished.

¹⁸ Before destruction comes pride,
    and before a fall, a haughty spirit.^[a]
19 Better a lowly spirit with the poor
    than dividing the spoil with the proud.
