Proverbs 6:16-19
Revised Standard Version
16 There are six things which the Lord hates,
seven which are an abomination to him:
17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue,
and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 a heart that devises wicked plans,
feet that make haste to run to evil,
19 a false witness who breathes out lies,
and a man who sows discord among brothers.
Proverbs 17:1
Revised Standard Version
17 Better is a dry morsel with quiet
than a house full of feasting with strife.
Proverbs 18:18-19
Revised Standard Version
18 The lot puts an end to disputes
and decides between powerful contenders.
19 A brother helped is like a strong city,[a]
but quarreling is like the bars of a castle.
