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.
