¹⁶ These six things doth the Lord hate, yea, seven are an abomination unto Him:

¹⁷ a proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,

¹⁸ a heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

¹⁹ a false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

¹⁸ He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth slander, is a fool.

¹⁹ The lips of truth shall be established for ever, but a lying tongue is but for a moment.

²² Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but they that deal truly are His delight.

²⁰ He that hath a froward heart findeth no good, and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into iniquity.

²² What is desired of a man is his kindness, and a poor man is better than a liar.

⁶ The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity which is tossed to and fro by them that seek death.

²⁸ A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it, and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.

³³ Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the stirring of wrath bringeth forth strife.
