Proverbs 6:16 - 6:19


16
There are six things which Yahweh hates,
Even seven which are an abomination to Him:
17
Haughty eyes, a lying tongue,
And hands that shed innocent blood,
18
A heart that devises wicked thoughts,
Feet that hasten to run to evil,
19
A false witness who breathes out lies,
And one who spreads strife among brothers.

Proverbs 10:18

18
He who covers up hatred has lying lips,
And he who spreads a bad report is a fool.

Proverbs 12:19

Truthful lips will be established forever,
But a lying tongue is only for a moment.

Proverbs 12:22

Lying lips are an abomination to Yahweh,
But doers of faithfulness are His delight.

Proverbs 13:5

5
A righteous man hates a lying word,
But a wicked man acts odiously and is humiliated.

Proverbs 17:20

20
He who has a crooked heart finds no good,
And he who is perverted in his tongue falls into evil.

Proverbs 19:22

22
What is desirable in a man is his lovingkindness,
And better is a poor man than a man of falsehood.

Proverbs 21:6

6
Working for treasures by a lying tongue
Is a fleeting breath, by those who pursue death.

Proverbs 26:28

28
A lying tongue hates those it crushes,
And a flattering mouth works ruin.
