16. These six things does the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17. A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18. A heart that devises wicked imaginations, feet that are swift in running to evil,
19. A false witness that speaks lies, and he that sows discord among brethren.
20. My son, keep your father's commandment, and forsake not the law of your mother:
21. Bind them continually upon your heart, and tie them about your neck.
22. When you go, it shall lead you; when you sleep, it shall keep you; and when you awake, it shall talk with you.
23. For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
24. To keep you from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a seductress.
25. Lust not after her beauty in your heart; neither let her allure you with her eyelids.
26. For by means of a harlot a man is reduced to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will prey upon his precious life.
27. Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?
