According to Proverbs 6:16-19, there are Seven abominations unto the Lord:
  • a proud look
  • a lying tongue
  • hands that shed innocent blood
  • a heart that deviseth wicked imaginations
  • feet that be swift in running to mischief
  • a false witness that speaketh lies, and
  • he that soweth discord among brethren.
