Proverbs 6:16-19 (New Living Translation)
16 There are six things the Lord hates—
no, seven things he detests:
17 haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that kill the innocent,
18 a heart that plots evil,
feet that race to do wrong,
19 a false witness who pours out lies,
a person who sows discord in a family.
Two things in this list that the Lord hates: hands that kill the innocent (murder) and sowing discord in a family.
How did these two appear in the same list? Once again, there must be a mistake in translation or something, right? Probably not. One thing in the list is illegal: murder. Another thing (lying) is illegal in some situations.
The rest are just plain bad in the eyes of God. How do I see them? Yikes. Let’s move on to another question before I find myself woefully wanting in yet another instance.
