¹⁶ There are six things Yahweh hates,
    and seven things are abominations of his soul:^[a]
17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue,
    and hands that shed innocent blood,
¹⁸ a devising heart, plans of deception,
    feet that hurry to run to evil,^[b]
19 a false witness who breathes lies
    and sends out discord^[c] between brothers.

¹⁷ He who will speak truth will reveal righteousness,
    but the witness of falsehood, deceit.

⁵ A faithful witness does not lie,
    but he who breathes out falsehood is a witness of deceit.

²⁵ He who saves lives^[a] is a witness of truth,
    but he who utters lies is a betrayer.

⁵ A witness of falsehood will not go unpunished,
    and he who breathes lies will not escape.
