Proverbs 6:17

What Yahweh Hates

¹⁶
These six things the Lord hates;
Indeed, seven are repulsive to Him:
¹⁷ 
A proud look [the attitude that makes one overestimate oneself and discount others], a lying tongue,
And hands that shed innocent blood,
¹⁸
A heart that creates wicked plans,
Feet that run swiftly to evil,
