What God Hates
16 Here are six things that the Lord hates—
seven, in fact,[a] are detestable to him:[b]
17 Arrogant eyes,
a lying tongue,
and hands shedding innocent blood;
18 a heart crafting evil plans,
feet running swiftly to wickedness,
19 a false witness snorting lies,
and someone sowing quarrels between brothers.

32 If you have been wickedly foolish in lifting yourself up,
Or if you have schemed evil, (A)put your hand on your mouth.

or if you’ve plotted evil,
put your hand over your mouth.
