Proverbs 6:14–20

14

in whose heart is perverseness,

who devises evil continually,

who always sows discord.

yes, seven which are an abomination to him:

Selected verse

arrogant eyes, a lying tongue,

hands that shed innocent blood,

18

a heart that devises wicked schemes,

feet that are swift in running to mischief,

19

a false witness who utters lies,

and he who sows discord among brothers.

20

My son, keep your father’s commandment,

and don’t forsake your mother’s teaching.
