Proverbs 6:16-20, 23

Proverbs 6:16-20 NIV

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. My son, keep your father’s command and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.

Proverbs 6:23 NIV

For this command is a lamp, this teaching is a light, and correction and instruction are the way to life
