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 ^(A)Better is a dry morsel and tranquility with it
Than a house full of ^[a]feasting with strife.

¹⁸ The cast ^(A)lot puts an end to contentions
And ^[a]decides between the mighty ones.
¹⁹ A brother offended is harder to win over than a strong city,
And contentions are like the bars of a citadel.
