Proverbs 6:16-19
1599 Geneva Bible
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.
