¹⁶ There are six things which Yahweh hates,
Even seven which are an abomination ^[a]to Him:
^17 (A)Haughty eyes, a ^(B)lying tongue,
And hands that ^(C)shed innocent blood,
¹⁸ A heart that devises ^(D)wicked thoughts,
^(E)Feet that hasten to run to evil,
¹⁹ A ^(F)false witness who breathes out lies,
And one who ^[b](G)spreads strife among brothers.

¹⁷ He who breathes out truth declares what is right,
But a false witness, deceit.

⁵ A ^(A)faithful witness will not lie,
But a ^(B)false witness ^(C)breathes out lies.

²⁵ A truthful witness delivers souls,
But he who ^(A)breathes out lies is deceitful.

¹⁸ Like a club and a ^(A)sword and a sharp ^(B)arrow
Is a man who bears ^[a](C)false witness against his neighbor.
