What the Lord Hates
16 The Lord hates six things;
in fact, seven are detestable to him:
17 arrogant eyes,(A) a lying tongue,(B)
hands that shed innocent blood,(C)
18 a heart that plots wicked schemes,(D)
feet eager to run to evil,(E)
19 a lying witness who gives false testimony,(F)
and one who stirs up trouble among brothers.(G)
