¹⁶ There are six things the Lord hates.
    There are seven things ·he cannot stand [^Lthat are an abomination to his soul]:
¹⁷     ·a proud look [haughty eyes],
    a lying tongue,
    hands that ·kill [^Lspill the blood of] innocent people,
¹⁸ a ·mind [heart] that thinks up evil plans,
    feet that are quick to ·do [^Lrun to] evil,
¹⁹     a witness who lies,
    and someone who starts ·arguments [conflicts; fights] among·families [brothers; Ps. 133].

¹⁷ An honest witness tells the truth,
but a dishonest witness tells lies.

⁵ A truthful witness does not lie,
but a false witness tells nothing but lies.

²⁵ A truthful witness saves lives,
but a ·false witness is a traitor [deceptive person proclaims lies].

⁵ A witness who lies will not go ·free [unpunished];
liars will never escape.
