Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who act faithfully are his delight.
You destroy those who speak lies; the Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
Those of crooked heart are an abomination to the Lord, but those of blameless ways are his delight.
There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the Lord.”
the elder and honored man is the head, and the prophet who teaches lies is the tail;
A false balance is an abomination to the Lord, but a just weight is his delight.
Because you have disheartened the righteous falsely, although I have not grieved him, and you have encouraged the wicked, that he should not turn from his evil way to save his life,
The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord, but the prayer of the upright is acceptable to him.
You have profaned me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, putting to death souls who should not die and keeping alive souls who should not live, by your lying to my people, who listen to lies.
But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”
