16 There are six things which the Lord hates,
    seven which are an abomination to him:
17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue,
    and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 a heart that devises wicked plans,
    feet that make haste to run to evil,
19 a false witness who breathes out lies,
    and a man who sows discord among brothers.

16 There are six things which Jehovah hateth;
Yea, seven which are an abomination [a]unto him:
17 Haughty eyes, a lying tongue,
And hands that shed innocent blood;
18 A heart that deviseth wicked purposes,
Feet that are swift in running to mischief,
19 A false witness that [b]uttereth lies,
And he that [c]soweth discord among brethren.
