The Bible in Basic English BBE
New International Version NIV
16 Six things are hated by the Lord; seven things are disgusting to him:
16
There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him:
17 Eyes of pride, a false tongue, hands which take life without cause;
17
haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,
18 A heart full of evil designs, feet which are quick in running after sin;
18
a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil,
19 A false witness, breathing out untrue words, and one who lets loose violent acts among brothers.
19
a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.
