16 There are six things which Yahweh hates;
    yes, seven which are an abomination to him:
17 arrogant eyes, a lying tongue,
    hands that shed innocent blood,
18 a heart that devises wicked schemes,
    feet that are swift in running to mischief,
19 a false witness who utters lies,
    and he who sows discord among brothers.
