Proverbs 6:16-19
English Standard Version
16 There are (A)six things that the Lord hates,
(B)seven that are an abomination to him:
17 (C)haughty eyes, (D)a lying tongue,
and (E)hands that shed innocent blood,
18 (F)a heart that devises wicked plans,
(G)feet that make haste to run to evil,
19 (H)a false witness who (I)breathes out lies,
and one who (J)sows discord among brothers.
Proverbs 6:16-19
New Living Translation
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.
