16  There are ^dsix things that the Lord hates,

^dseven that are an abomination to him:

17  ^ehaughty eyes, ^fa lying tongue,

and ^ghands that shed innocent blood,

18  ^ha heart that devises wicked plans,

ⁱfeet that make haste to run to evil,

19  ^ja false witness who ^kbreathes out lies,

and one who ^asows discord among brothers.

13  ^dThe fear of the Lord is ^ehatred of evil.

^fPride and arrogance and the way of evil

and ^gperverted speech I hate.

8  ^lDo not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you;

^mreprove a wise man, and he will love you.

12  Hatred stirs up strife,

but ^wlove covers all offenses.

18  The one who conceals hatred has lying lips,

and whoever utters slander is a fool.

5  The righteous hates falsehood,

but the wicked brings shame¹ and disgrace.

24  ^cWhoever spares the rod hates his son,

but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him.¹

17  A man of ^cquick temper acts foolishly,

and a man of evil devices is hated.

17  ^cBetter is a dinner of herbs where love is

than ^da fattened ox and hatred with it.

24  Whoever hates disguises himself with his lips

and harbors deceit in his heart;

26  though his hatred be covered with deception,

his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.

28  A lying tongue hates its victims,

and a flattering mouth works ruin.

16  A ruler who ^elacks understanding is a cruel oppressor,

but he who hates unjust gain will prolong his days.

10  Bloodthirsty men ^qhate one who is blameless

and seek the life of the upright.¹
