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.

³¹ The mouth of the just brings forth wisdom,
    but the perverse tongue will be cut out.

¹⁹ The truthful lip will be established forever,
    but a lying tongue is but for a moment.

²⁰ Deceit is in the heart of those who imagine evil,
    but to the counselors of peace is joy.

²¹ There will no evil happen to the just,
    but the wicked will be filled with mischief.

²² Lying lips are abomination to the Lord,
    but those who deal truly are His delight.

⁵ A righteous man hates lying,
    but a wicked man is loathsome and comes to shame.

²⁵ A true witness delivers souls,
    but a deceitful witness speaks lies.

⁷ Excellent speech is not becoming to a fool,
    much less lying lips to a prince.

²⁰ He who has a deceitful heart finds no good,
    and he who has a perverse tongue falls into mischief.

⁹ A false witness will not be unpunished,
    and he who speaks lies will perish.

⁶ The getting of treasures by a lying tongue
    is a vanity tossed back and forth by those who seek death.

²⁸ A false witness will perish,
    but a man who listens will speak forever.
