“A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, A proud: Heb. Haughty eyes”
Proverbs 6:17 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 6:17
Proud look - literally 'haughty eyes' - heads the list of seven abominations. Pride of the eyes represents internal arrogance manifested in contemptuous looks. That pride tops the list suggests it's the root sin from which others flow. The eyes reflecting heart attitude makes external demeanor reveal internal character. Humble eyes reflect humble heart; haughty eyes betray proud heart.
