    These six things the LORD hates,
    Yes, seven are an abomination to Him:
    A proud look,
    A lying tongue,
    Hands that shed innocent blood,
    A heart that devises wicked plans,
    Feet that are swift in running to evil,
    A false witness who speaks lies,
    And one who sows discord among brethren.
     
  • Proverbs 26:28
    A lying tongue hates those who are crushed by it,
    And a flattering mouth works ruin.
     
  • Isaiah 59:3-4
    For your hands are defiled with blood,
    And your fingers with iniquity;
    Your lips have spoken lies,
    Your tongue has muttered perversity.
    No one calls for justice,
    Nor does any plead for truth.
    They trust in empty words and speak lies;
    They conceive evil and bring forth iniquity.
