Proverbs 6 & 7 - Haughty eyes are a reference to pride. 2025

Prov 6:16
There are six things which the LORD hates, Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him:

There are things that Elohim hates, even though many people erroneously think He is incapable of hate. He hates sin and He lists several specific things that are sinful or that promote and lead to sin. "Six things..., Yes, seven.." This is a form of Hebraic poetry.

Prov 6:17
Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood,

Haughty eyes are a reference to pride.

Psalm 18:27 For Thou dost save an afflicted people; But haughty eyes Thou dost abase.

Psalm 101:5 Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, him I will destroy; No one who has a haughty look and an arrogant heart will I endure.

A lying tongue is an abomination to Elohim.

Psalm 5:6 Thou dost destroy those who speak falsehood; The LORD abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit..
