Proverbs 6:16-19
Amplified Bible
16
These six things the Lord hates;
Indeed, seven are repulsive to Him:
17
A proud look [the attitude that makes one overestimate oneself and discount others], a lying tongue,
And hands that shed innocent blood,(A)
18
A heart that creates wicked plans,
Feet that run swiftly to evil,
19
A false witness who breathes out lies [even half-truths],
And one who spreads discord (rumors) among brothers.
Proverbs 10:18

He who hides hatred has lying lips,
And he who spreads slander is a fool.(A)

Truthful lips will be established forever,
But a lying tongue is [credited] only for a moment.

Lying lips are extremely disgusting to the Lord,
But those who deal faithfully are His delight.(A)

But a wicked man is loathsome, and he acts shamefully.

He who has a crooked mind finds no good,
And he who is perverted in his language falls into evil.(A)
Proverbs 19:22

That which is desirable in a man is his loyalty and unfailing love,
But it is better to be a poor man than a [wealthy] liar.
Proverbs 21:6

Acquiring treasures by a lying tongue
Is a fleeting vapor, the seeking and pursuit of death.
Proverbs 26:28

A lying tongue hates those it wounds and crushes,
And a flattering mouth works ruin.
