¹⁷ Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood;

²² Lying lips are an abomination to Yahweh, But those who do the truth are his delight.

¹⁵ When you spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you; Yes, when you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood.

⁵ I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I won't tolerate one who is haughty and conceited.

² Deliver my soul, Yahweh, from lying lips, From a deceitful tongue.

³ What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you, You deceitful tongue?

¹¹ If they say, "Come with us, Let's lay in wait for blood; Let's lurk secretly for the innocent without cause;

⁵ A truthful witness will not lie, But a false witness pours out lies.

⁴ A high look, and a proud heart, The lamp of the wicked, is sin.

²⁸ A lying tongue hates those it hurts; And a flattering mouth works ruin.

¹³ There is a generation, oh how lofty are their eyes! Their eyelids are lifted up.

¹¹ The lofty looks of man will be brought low, The haughtiness of men will be bowed down, And Yahweh alone will be exalted in that day.

⁹ The look of their faces testify against them. They parade their sin like Sodom. They don't hide it. Woe to their soul! For they have brought disaster upon themselves.

¹⁶ Moreover Yahweh said, "Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, And walk with outstretched necks and flirting eyes, Walking to trip as they go, Jingling ornaments on their feet;

²⁷ For you will save the afflicted people, But the haughty eyes you will bring down.

⁶ You will destroy those who speak lies. Yahweh abhors the blood-thirsty and deceitful man.

¹⁰ that innocent blood not be shed in the midst of your land, which Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance, and so blood be on you.

⁴ and also for the innocent blood that he shed; for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood: and Yahweh would not pardon.

⁴ The wicked, in the pride of his face, Has no room in his thoughts for God.

¹⁸ Let the lying lips be mute, Which speak against the righteous insolently, with pride and contempt.

⁶ Therefore pride is like a chain around their neck. Violence covers them like a garment.

⁷ Their eyes bulge with fat. Their minds pass the limits of conceit.

⁸ They scoff and speak with malice. In arrogance, they threaten oppression.

¹ > Yahweh, my heart isn't haughty, nor my eyes lofty; Nor do I concern myself with great matters, Or things too wonderful for me.

⁷ Arrogant speech isn't fitting for a fool, Much less do lying lips fit a prince.

³ For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue mutters wickedness.

⁴ None sues in righteousness, and none pleads in truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.

⁵ They hatch adders' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he who eats of their eggs dies; and that which is crushed breaks out into a viper.

⁶ Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands.

⁷ Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; desolation and destruction are in their paths.

¹ Hear the word of Yahweh, you children of Israel; For Yahweh has a charge against the inhabitants of the land: "Indeed there is no truth, Nor goodness, Nor knowledge of God in the land.

² There is cursing, lying, murder, stealing, and committing adultery; They break boundaries, and bloodshed causes bloodshed.

⁴⁴ You are of your Father, the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn't stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and the father of it.

⁵ Likewise, you younger ones, be subject to the elder. Yes, all of you gird yourselves with humility, to subject yourselves to one another; for "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble."

¹⁵ Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

²⁵ Cursed be he who takes a bribe to kill an innocent person. All the people shall say, Amen.
