These six things the Lord hates;
Indeed, seven are repulsive to Him:
¹⁷ 
A proud look [the attitude that makes one overestimate oneself and discount others], a lying tongue,
And hands that shed innocent blood,^(A)
18 
A heart that creates wicked plans,
Feet that run swiftly to evil,
¹⁹ 
A false witness who breathes out lies [even half-truths],
And one who spreads discord (rumors) among brothers.

¹³ 
“The [reverent] fear and worshipful awe of the Lord includes the hatred of evil;
Pride and arrogance and the evil way,
And the perverted mouth, I hate.

^8 
[a]Do not correct a scoffer [who foolishly ridicules and takes no responsibility for his error] or he will hate you;
Correct a wise man [who learns from his error], and he will love you.^(A)

¹² 
Hatred stirs up strife,
But love covers and overwhelms all transgressions [forgiving and overlooking another’s faults].

¹⁸ 
He who hides hatred has lying lips,
And he who spreads slander is a fool.^(A)
