ESVEnglish Standard Version

There are six things that the Lord hates,

seven that are an abomination to him:

haughty eyes, a lying tongue,

and hands that shed innocent blood,

a heart that devises wicked plans,

feet that make haste to run to evil,

a false witness who breathes out lies,

and one who sows discord among brothers.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

There are six things the Lord hates,

seven that are detestable to him:

haughty eyes,

a lying tongue,

hands that shed innocent blood,

a heart that devises wicked schemes,

feet that are quick to rush into evil,

a false witness who pours out lies

and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.

NLTNew Living Translation

There are six things the Lord hates—

no, seven things he detests:

haughty eyes,

a lying tongue,

hands that kill the innocent,

a heart that plots evil,

feet that race to do wrong,

a false witness who pours out lies,

a person who sows discord in a family.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

There are six things Yahweh hates,

and seven things are abominations of his soul:

haughty eyes, a lying tongue,

and hands that shed innocent blood,

a devising heart, plans of deception,

feet that hurry to run to evil,

a false witness who breathes lies

and sends out discord between brothers.

KJV 1900King James Version

These six things doth the Lord hate:

Yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

A proud look, a lying tongue,

And hands that shed innocent blood,

An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations,

Feet that be swift in running to mischief,

A false witness that speaketh lies,

And he that soweth discord among brethren.
