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.

¹⁸ The lot will put an end to disputes,
    and between powerful contenders it will decide.
¹⁹ A brother who is offended is worse than a city of strength,
    and quarrels are like the bars of a fortification.
