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.
