Proverbs 6:16-19
New Living Translation
16 There are six things the Lord hates—
no, seven things he detests:
17 haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that kill the innocent,
18 a heart that plots evil,
feet that race to do wrong,
19 a false witness who pours out lies,
a person who sows discord in a family.
Proverbs 6:16-19

18 A heart that devises (D)wicked thoughts,
(E)Feet that hasten to run to evil,
19 A (F)false witness who breathes out lies,
And one who [b](G)spreads strife among brothers.
