Always Cooking Up Something Nasty

12-15 Swindlers and scoundrels
    talk out of both sides of their mouths.
They wink at each other, they shuffle their feet,
    they cross their fingers behind their backs.
Their perverse minds are always cooking up something nasty,
    always stirring up trouble.
Catastrophe is just around the corner for them,
    a total wreck, their lives ruined beyond repair.

Seven Things God Hates

16-19 Here are six things God hates,
    and one more that he loathes with a passion:

        eyes that are arrogant,
        a tongue that lies,
        hands that murder the innocent,
        a heart that hatches evil plots,
        feet that race down a wicked track,
        a mouth that lies under oath,
        a troublemaker in the family.
