16 These six things doth the Lord hate:
yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17 a proud look, a lying tongue,
and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 an heart that deviseth wicked imaginations,
feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19 a false witness that speaketh lies,
and he that soweth discord among brethren.

19 The lip of truth shall be established for ever:
    but a lying tongue is but for a moment.

20 Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil:
    but to the counsellors of peace is joy.

21 There shall no evil happen to the just:
    but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.

22 Lying lips are abomination to the Lord:
    but they that deal truly are his delight.
