¹⁶ There are six things the Lord hates—
    no, seven things he detests:
¹⁷ haughty eyes,
    a lying tongue,
    hands that kill the innocent,
¹⁸ a heart that plots evil,
    feet that race to do wrong,
¹⁹ a false witness who pours out lies,
    a person who sows discord in a family.

³¹ The mouth of the godly person gives wise advice,
    but the tongue that deceives will be cut off.

¹⁹ Truthful words stand the test of time,
    but lies are soon exposed.

²⁰ Deceit fills hearts that are plotting evil;
    joy fills hearts that are planning peace!

²¹ No harm comes to the godly,
    but the wicked have their fill of trouble.

²² The Lord detests lying lips,
    but he delights in those who tell the truth.

⁵ The godly hate lies;
    the wicked cause shame and disgrace.

²⁵ A truthful witness saves lives,
    but a false witness is a traitor.
