Proverbs 6

Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

16 Ref These six hath Jehovah hated, Yea, seven `are' abominations to His soul.

17 Ref Eyes high -- tongues false -- And hands shedding innocent blood --

18 Ref A heart devising thoughts of vanity -- Feet hasting to run to evil --

19 Ref A false witness `who' doth breathe out lies -- And one sending forth contentions between brethren.

20 Ref Keep, my son, the command of thy father, And leave not the law of thy mother.

American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)

16 Ref There are six things which Jehovah hateth; Yea, seven which are an abomination unto him:

17 Ref Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood;

18 Ref A heart that deviseth wicked purposes, Feet that are swift in running to mischief,

19 Ref A false witness that uttereth lies, And he that soweth discord among brethren.

20 Ref My son, keep the commandment of thy father, And forsake not the law of thy mother:

16 Ref There are six things which Yahweh hates; Yes, seven which are an abomination to him:

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

18 Ref A heart that devises wicked schemes, Feet that are swift in running to mischief,

19 Ref A false witness who utters lies, And he who sows discord among brothers.

20 Ref My son, keep your father's commandment, And don't forsake your mother's teaching.
