16  There are ^wsix things that the Lord hates,

seven that are an abomination to him:

17  haughty eyes, a lying tongue,

and hands that shed innocent blood,

18  a heart that devises wicked plans,

^xfeet that make haste to run to evil,

19  a false witness who ^ybreathes out lies,

and one who sows discord among brothers.

22  Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord,

but those who act faithfully are his delight.

18  Like a madman who throws firebrands, arrows, and death

19  is the man who deceives his neighbor

and says, “I am only joking!”
