Context of Proverbs 6:15
13He sends secret messages with his eyes, his feet or his fingers. 14He uses evil thoughts to decide how he will hurt people. Wherever he goes, there is trouble. Because of this, trouble will suddenly happen to him. It will knock him down and he will never get up again. 16There are six things that the Lord hates, or even seven things: 17Eyes that show how proud a person is. A mouth that speaks lies. Hands that kill people who have done nothing wrong.
