17   haughty eyes, a lying tongue,
    and hands that shed innocent blood,
18   a heart that devises wicked plans,
    feet that make haste to run to evil,
19   a false witness who breathes out lies,
    and one who sows discord among brothers.

    and his lips from speaking deceit;
11   let him turn away from evil and do good;

    and his ears are open to their prayer.
