Proverbs 6:16-19
New International Reader's Version
16 There are six things the Lord hates.
In fact, he hates seven things.
17 The Lord hates proud eyes,
a lying tongue,
and hands that kill those who aren’t guilty.
18 He also hates hearts that make evil plans
and feet that are quick to do evil.
19 He hates any witness who pours out lies
and anyone who stirs up conflict in the community.
Proverbs 17:1
New International Reader's Version
17 It is better to eat a dry crust of bread in peace and quiet
than to eat a big dinner in a house full of fighting.
Proverbs 18:18-19
New International Reader's Version
18 Casting lots will put a stop to arguing.
It will keep the strongest enemies apart.
19 A broken friendship is harder to handle than a city with high walls around it.
And arguing is like the locked gates of a mighty city.
