# Lying lips are an abomination to Yahweh "Yahweh strongly hates lying lips." See how you translated "abomination" in [Proverbs 3:32](../03/32.md). # Lying lips "Lips" are either a metonym for the words a person says or a synecdoche for the person himself. Alternate translation: "Lies" or "People who tell lies" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
