²² Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight.

¹⁵ For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

²⁰ They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the LORD: but such as are upright in their way are his delight.

¹ A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight.

¹⁶ These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

¹⁷ A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

⁶ Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.

⁸ But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

²² Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life:

¹⁹ And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear your lies?

²⁴ But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.

¹⁵ The ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.

⁸ The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is his delight.
