16 Six things there be, which the Lord hateth; and his soul curseth the seventh thing.
17 High eyes, a tongue liar, that is, accustomable to deadly leasing, (or a lying tongue, that is, one accustomed to deadly lies), hands shedding out innocent blood,
18 an heart imagining full wicked thoughts, feet swift to run into evil (or feet quick to run to evil),
19 a man bringing forth leasing, a false witness; and him that soweth discord among brethren. (a liar, that is, a false witness; and he who soweth discord among brothers, or among friends.)
20 My son, keep the commandments of thy father; and forsake thou not the law of thy mother. (My son, obey thy father’s commands; and do not thou abandon thy mother’s instructions.)
21 Bind thou those continually in thine heart; and encompass to thy throat. (Bind thou them continually to thy heart; and tie them about thy neck.)
