Proverbs 6:17
haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
In context
14 with perverted heart devises evil, continually sowing discord; 15 therefore calamity will come upon him suddenly; in a moment he will be broken beyond healing.
16 There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: 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.
20 My son, keep your father’s commandment, and forsake not your mother’s teaching.
