¹⁶ These six things the Lord hates,
Yes, seven are an abomination to ^[a]Him:
^17 (A)A^[b] proud look,
^(B)A lying tongue,
^(C)Hands that shed innocent blood,
^18 (D)A heart that devises wicked plans,
^(E)Feet that are swift in running to evil,
^19 (F)A false witness who speaks lies,
And one who ^(G)sows discord among brethren.

² When pride comes, then comes ^(A)shame;
But with the humble is wisdom.

^9 (A)Better is the one who is ^[a]slighted but has a servant,
Than he who honors himself but lacks bread.

^7 (A)There is one who makes himself rich, yet has nothing;
And one who makes himself poor, yet has great riches.

¹⁰ By pride comes nothing but ^(A)strife,
But with the well-advised is wisdom.

^25 (A)The Lord will destroy the house of the proud,
But ^(B)He will establish the boundary of the widow.

^5 (A)Everyone proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord;
Though they join ^[a]forces, none will go unpunished.
