yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17 a proud look, a lying tongue,

feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19 a false witness that speaketh lies,
and he that soweth discord among brethren.

Feet that are swift in running to mischief,
19 A false witness that [b]uttereth lies,
And he that [c]soweth discord among brethren.
