Haughtyeyes,a lyingtongue,And handsthat shedinnocentblood,
Moreover,Manassehshedverymuchinnocentblooduntilhe had filledJerusalemfrom oneendto another;besideshis sinwith whichhe made Judahsin,in doingevilin the sightof the LORD.
and alsofor the innocentbloodwhichhe shed,for he filledJerusalemwith innocentblood;and the LORDwouldnot forgive.
The wicked,in the haughtinessof his countenance,does not seek[Him]. Allhis thoughtsare, "Thereis noGod."
Whoever secretlyslandershis neighbor,him I will destroy;Noone who has a haughtylookand an arrogantheartwill I endure.
O LORD,my heartis not proud,normy eyeshaughty;Nordo I involvemyself in greatmatters, Or in thingstoodifficultfor me.
For You savean afflictedpeople,But haughtyeyesYou abase.
Let the lyinglipsbe mute,Which speakarrogantlyagainstthe righteousWith prideand contempt.
You destroythose who speakfalsehood;The LORDabhorsthe manof bloodshedand deceit.
But as for me, by Your abundantlovingkindnessI will enterYour house,At Your holytempleI will bowin reverencefor You.
Ifthey say,"Comewith us, Let us liein waitfor blood,Let us ambushthe innocentwithoutcause;
For their feetrunto evilAnd they hastento shedblood.
Lyinglipsare an abominationto the LORD,But those who dealfaithfullyare His delight.
A trustworthywitnesswill not lie,But a false witnessutterslies.
Everyonewho is proudin heartis an abominationto the LORD;Assuredly,he will not be unpunished.
Excellentspeechis not fittingfor a fool,Muchlessare lyinglipsto a prince.
Haughtyeyesand a proudheart,The lampof the wicked,is sin.
A lyingtonguehatesthose it crushes,And a flatteringmouthworksruin.
A manwho is ladenwith the guilt of humanbloodWill be a fugitiveuntildeath;let noone supporthim.
There is a kind--oh howloftyare his eyes!And his eyelidsare raised[in arrogance].
Thereare sixthingswhich the LORDhates,Yes, sevenwhich are an abominationto Him:
"So when you spreadout your hands[in prayer], I will hideMy eyesfrom you; Yes,eventhoughyou multiplyprayers,I will not listen.Your handsare coveredwith blood.
The proudlookof manwill be abasedAnd the loftinessof manwill be humbled,And the LORDalonewill be exaltedin that day.
Moreover, the LORDsaid,"Becausethe daughtersof Zionare proudAnd walkwith headsheldhighand seductiveeyes,And goalong with mincingstepsAnd tinklethe bangleson their feet,
The expressionof their facesbearswitnessagainst them, And they displaytheir sinlike Sodom;They do not [even] conceal[it]. Woeto them! For they have broughtevilon themselves.
"Onlyknowfor certainthat ifyou putme to death,you will bringinnocentbloodon yourselves, and on thiscityand on its inhabitants;for trulythe LORDhas sentme to you to speakallthesewordsin your hearing."
"You are of [your] fatherthe devil,and you wantto dothe desiresof your father.He was a murdererfrom the beginning,and does not standin the truthbecausethere is notruthin him. Wheneverhe speaksa lie,he speaksfrom his own[nature], for he is a liarand the fatherof lies.
"So innocentbloodwill not be shedin the midstof your landwhichthe LORDyour Godgivesyou as an inheritance,and bloodguiltinessbe on you.
Cursedis he who acceptsa bribeto strikedownan innocentperson.'And allthe peopleshall say,'Amen.'
You younger men,likewise,be subjectto [your] elders;and allof you, clotheyourselves with humilitytoward one another,for GODIS OPPOSEDTO THE PROUD,BUT GIVESGRACETO THE HUMBLE.
Outsideare the dogsand the sorcerersand the immoral personsand the murderersand the idolaters,and everyonewho lovesand practiceslying.
