Bible verse
haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,
Proverbs 6:17 · BSB
The verses around it, from Proverbs 6.
13 winking his eyes, speaking with his feet, and pointing with his fingers.
14 With deceit in his heart he devises evil; he continually sows discord.
15 Therefore calamity will come upon him suddenly; in an instant he will be shattered beyond recovery.
16 There are six things that the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to Him:
17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,
18 a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that run swiftly to evil,
19 a false witness who gives false testimony, and one who stirs up discord among brothers.
20 My son, keep your father’s commandment, and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.
21 Bind them always upon your heart; tie them around your neck.
