¹⁶ There are six things Yahweh hates,
    and seven things are abominations of his soul:^[a]
17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue,
    and hands that shed innocent blood,
¹⁸ a devising heart, plans of deception,
    feet that hurry to run to evil,^[b]
19 a false witness who breathes lies
    and sends out discord^[c] between brothers.

³¹ The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom,
    but a tongue of perversity will be cut off.

¹⁹ A lip of truth endures forever,
    but a tongue of deception lasts only a moment.
²⁰ Deceit is in the heart^[a] of those who plan^[b] evil,
    but to those who plan^[c] peace, there is joy.
²¹ No evil will happen^[d] to the righteous,
    but the wicked are filled with trouble.
²² An abomination of Yahweh are lips of deceit,
    but they who act faithfully are his delight.

⁵ The righteous hates a word of falsehood;
    the wicked will bring shame and disgrace.^[a]
