17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,

18 a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that run swiftly to evil,

19 a false witness who gives false testimony, and one who stirs up discord among brothers.

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