Proverbs 6:16-19

    [16] There are six 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,

        feet that make haste to run to evil, 

    [19] a false witness who breathes out lies,

        and one who sows discord among brothers.
