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.

¹⁸ He who hides hatred has lying lips,
    and he who spreads slander is a fool.

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

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

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

²² The desire 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 tossed back and forth by those who seek death.
