A proud look

There is a generation, oh how lofty are their eyes! Their eyelids are lifted up.

The wicked, in the pride of his face, has no room in his thoughts for God.

For you will save the afflicted people, but the haughty eyes you will bring down.

Therefore pride is like a chain around their neck. Violence covers them like a garment.

I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I won't tolerate one who is haughty and conceited.

Yahweh, my heart isn't haughty, nor my eyes lofty; nor do I concern myself with great matters, or things too wonderful for me.

The lofty looks of man will be brought low, the haughtiness of men will be bowed down, and Yahweh alone will be exalted in that day.

The look of their faces testify against them. They parade their sin like Sodom. They don't hide it. Woe to their soul! For they have brought disaster upon themselves.

Likewise, you younger ones, be subject to the elder. Yes, all of you clothe yourselves with humility, to subject yourselves to one another; for "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble."

Lying

Lying lips are an abomination to Yahweh, but those who do the truth are his delight.

A truthful witness will not lie, but a false witness pours out lies.

A lying tongue hates those it hurts; and a flattering mouth works ruin.

You will destroy those who speak lies. Yahweh abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

Deliver my soul, Yahweh, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.

Hear the word of Yahweh, you children of Israel; for Yahweh has a charge against the inhabitants of the land: "Indeed there is no truth, nor goodness, nor knowledge of God in the land.

You are of your father, the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn't stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and its father.

Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

And hands

If they say, "Come with us, Let's lay in wait for blood; let's lurk secretly for the innocent without cause;

'Cursed is he who takes a bribe to kill an innocent person.' All the people shall say, 'Amen.'

and also for the innocent blood that he shed; for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood: and Yahweh would not pardon.

When you spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you. Yes, when you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood.

For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue mutters wickedness.

General references

that innocent blood not be shed in the midst of your land, which Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance, and so blood be on you.

There is a generation, oh how lofty are their eyes! Their eyelids are lifted up.
