¹⁶ There are six things which Jehovah hateth;
Yea, seven which are an abomination ^[a]unto him:
¹⁷ Haughty eyes, a lying tongue,
And hands that shed innocent blood;
¹⁸ A heart that deviseth wicked purposes,
Feet that are swift in running to mischief,
¹⁹ A false witness that ^[b]uttereth lies,
And he that ^[c]soweth discord among brethren.

17 Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith,
Than a house full of ^[a]feasting with strife.

¹⁸ The lot causeth contentions to cease,
And parteth between the mighty.
¹⁹ A brother ^[a]offended is harder to be won than a strong city;
And such contentions are like the bars of a castle.
