Proverbs 6

What the Lord Hates

16 The Lord hates six things;

in fact, seven are detestable to him:

17 arrogant eyes,  * 6:17 Ps 18:27; Pr 21:4; 30:13 a lying tongue,  * 6:17 Ps 31:18; 120:2; Pr 12:22; 17:7

hands that shed innocent blood,  * 6:17 Dt 19:10; Pr 1:16; Is 1:15; 59:7

18 a heart that plots wicked schemes,  * 6:18 Gn 6:5

feet eager to run to evil,  * 6:18 Pr 1:16

19 a lying witness who gives false testimony,  * 6:19 Ex 20:16; Ps 27:12; Pr 12:17; 14:5,25

and one who stirs up trouble among brothers.  * 6:19 Pr 6:14; 16:27–28; 28:25
