¹⁶ ¶ These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, his soul abhorreth seven:

¹⁷ The haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and the hands that shed innocent blood,

¹⁸ An heart that imagineth wicked enterprises, ^[a]feet that be swift in running to mischief,

¹⁹ A false witness that speaketh lies, and him that raiseth up contentions among ^[b]brethren.

¹⁷ He that speaketh truth, will show righteousness: but a false witness useth deceit.

⁵ A faithful witness will not lie: but a false record will speak lies.

²⁵ A faithful witness delivereth souls: but a deceiver speaketh lies.

^5 (A)A false witness shall not be unpunished: and he that speaketh lies, shall not escape.

⁹ A false witness shall not be unpunished: and he that speaketh lies, shall perish.

²⁸ A wicked witness mocketh at judgment, and the mouth of the wicked ^[a]swalloweth up iniquity.

^28 (A)A false witness shall perish: but he that heareth, ^[a]speaketh continually.

¹⁸ A man that beareth false witness against his neighbor, is like an hammer and a sword, and a sharp arrow.
