A proud look

There is a kind—oh how lofty are his eyes!
And his eyelids are raised in arrogance.

The wicked, in the haughtiness of his countenance, does not seek Him.
All his thoughts are, “There is no God.”

For You save an afflicted people,
But haughty eyes You abase.

Therefore pride is their necklace;
The garment of violence covers them.

Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, him I will destroy;
No one who has a haughty look and an arrogant heart will I endure.

A Song of Ascents, of David.
O Lord, my heart is not proud, nor my eyes

haughty;

Nor do I involve myself in great matters,
Or in things too difficult for me.

The

proud look of man will be abased

And the loftiness of man will be humbled,
And the Lord alone will be exalted in that day.

The expression of their faces bears witness against them,

And they display their sin like Sodom;
They do not even conceal it.
Woe to them!
For they have brought evil on themselves.

You younger men, likewise, be subject to your elders; and all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, for God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

Lying

Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord,

But those who deal faithfully are His delight.

A trustworthy witness will not lie,
But a false witness

utters lies.

A lying tongue hates those it crushes,
And a flattering mouth works ruin.

You destroy those who speak falsehood;
The Lord abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.

Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips,
From a deceitful tongue.

Listen to the word of the Lord, O sons of Israel,

For the Lord has a case against the inhabitants of the land,
Because there is no faithfulness or kindness
Or knowledge of God in the land.

You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

Outside are the dogs and the sorcerers and the immoral persons and the murderers and the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices lying.

And hands

If they say, “Come with us,
Let us lie in wait for blood,
Let us ambush the innocent without cause;

‘Cursed is he who accepts a bribe to strike down an innocent person.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’

and also for the innocent blood which he shed, for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; and the Lord would not forgive.

“So when you spread out your hands in prayer,

I will hide My eyes from you;

Yes, even though you multiply prayers,
I will not listen.

Your hands are covered with blood.

For your hands are defiled with blood
And your fingers with iniquity;
Your lips have spoken falsehood,
Your tongue mutters wickedness.

General references

So innocent blood will not be shed in the midst of your land which the Lord your God gives you as an inheritance, and bloodguiltiness be on you.

There is a kind—oh how lofty are his eyes!
And his eyelids are raised in arrogance.
