Provérbios 6
Morris - seven are an abomination. It is noteworthy that these seven sins hated by God (Proverbs 6:16-19) are, with the one exception of murder, all sins of the mind or tongue. Guzik on the "big seven" - Most of these sins are connected to something we do in or through our body. The eyes have a proud look, the tongue lies, and so on. We are again reminded of what Paul wrote in Romans about presenting the parts of our body (our members) to God for the work of righteousness, not sin (Romans 6:13). This collection of seven sins is also focused on how we treat others. We must honor God and worship Him in spirit and in truth; yet God also is concerned about how we treat others. Each of these are serious sins against others. Believer's Study Bible - (vv. 16-19) These evil qualities are an abomination to Yahweh: (1) the sin of attitude shown by "a proud look," (2) the sin of thought suggested by "a heart that devises wicked plans," (3) the sins of speech illustrated in "a lying tongue" and "a false witness," (4) the sins of action found in "hands that shed innocent blood" and "feet that are swift in running to evil," and (5) the sins of influence revealed in sowing "discord among brethren." Proverbs 6:17 Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood, BGT Proverbs 6:17 ὀφθαλμὸς ὑβριστοῦ γλῶσσα ἄδικος χεῖρες ἐκχέουσαι αἷμα δικαίου NET Proverbs 6:17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, NLT Proverbs 6:17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that kill the innocent, ESV Proverbs 6:17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, NIV Proverbs 6:17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, KJV Proverbs 6:17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, LXE Proverbs 6:17 The eye of the haughty, a tongue unjust, hands shedding the blood of the just; ASV Proverbs 6:17 Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood; CSB Proverbs 6:17 arrogant eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, NKJ Proverbs 6:17 A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, NRS Proverbs 6:17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, YLT Proverbs 6:17 Eyes high -- tongues false -- And hands shedding innocent blood -- Haughty eyes, Pr 30:13 Ps 10:4 18:27 73:6-8 101:5 131:1 Isa 2:11 3:9,16 1Pe 5:5 lying: Pr 12:22 14:5 26:28 Ps 5:6 120:2,3 Ho 4:1,2 Joh 8:44 Rev 22:15 and hands: Pr 1:11 De 27:25 2Ki 24:4 Isa 1:15 59:3-6 Haughty eyes - Note in the Greek above the word for haughty is hubristos. What does that sound like in English? Hubris! Here is Wikipedia's definition of hubris... Hubris (/ˈhjuːbrɪs/; from Ancient Greek ὕβρις (húbris) 'pride, insolence, outrage'), or less frequently hybris (/ˈhaɪbrɪs/),[1] describes a personality quality of extreme or excessive pride[2] or dangerous overconfidence,[3] often in combination with (or synonymous with) arrogance.[4] The term arrogance comes from the Latin adrogare, meaning "to feel that one has a right to demand certain attitudes and behaviors from other people". To arrogate means "to claim or seize without justification... To make undue claims to having",[5] or "to claim or seize without right... to ascribe or attribute without reason".[6] The term pretension is also associated with the term hubris, but is not synonymous with it.[7] According to studies, hubris, arrogance, and pretension are related to the need for victory (even if it does not always mean winning) instead of reconciliation, which "friendly" groups might promote.[8] Hubris is usually perceived as a characteristic of an individual rather than a group, although the group the offender belongs to may suffer collateral consequences from wrongful acts. Hubris often indicates a loss of contact with reality and an overestimation of one's own competence, accomplishments, or capabilities. The adjectival form of the noun hubris/hybris is hubristic/hybristic.[1] The term hubris originated in Ancient Greek,[9] where it had several different meanings depending on the context. In legal usage, it meant assault or sexual crimes and theft of public property,[10] and in religious usage it meant transgression against a god.[11] Pride heads the list of God's “hates” because it is the worst and most dangerous of all sins. Proud people look down on other people, because they feel superior to them. It is the attitude that overvalues self and undervalues others. It is the feeling that says, “I'm better than someone else.“Prideful” is the one word that best describes Satan. Because of pride Satan led a rebellion against God. Satan led Adam and Eve into sin by appealing to their pride, the same pride that caused him to rebel against God. The very essence of pride is trying to be your own god. People who want to be God say, “I can make my own rules and live like I want. I can live by my own standards and morals.” One of the characteristics of a prideful person is that they are always right in their own eyes and considers himself a cut above everyone else. Proverbs 12:15 says "The way of a fool is right in his own eyes." “Sins in others I can see, but, praise the Lord, there's none in me.” NET NOTE - "The expression “high/ lofty [רָמוֹת, ramot] eyes” refers to a proud look suggesting arrogant ambition (cf. NCV “a proud look”). The use of “eyes” is a metonymy of adjunct, the look in the eyes accompanying the attitude. This term “high” is used in Num 15:30 for the sin of the “high hand,” i.e., willful rebellion or defiant sin. The usage of “haughty eyes” may be illustrated by its use with the pompous Assyrian invader (Isa 10:12–14) and the proud king of the book of Daniel (11:12). God does not tolerate anyone who thinks so highly of himself and who has such ambition." a lying tongue - Note the connection between pride and lying - Satan fell because of his pride and became the father of lies. (Jn 8:44). We are never any more like the devil than when we lie! (THOUGHT- Have you lied this week?) NET NOTE - "Heb “a tongue of deception.” The genitive noun functions attributively. The term “tongue” functions as a metonymy. The term is used of false prophets who deceive (Jer 14:14), and of a deceiver who betrays (Ps 109:2). The LORD hates deceptive speech because it is destructive (Pr 26:28)." Numbers 23:1 says that “God is not a man, that He should lie”; Hebrews 6:18 says that “It is impossible for God to lie”; John 14:6 says that Jesus is “the way, the truth, and the life.” Don't be fooled for lying takes many forms: deception, exaggeration, misrepresentation, dishonesty. Why do we lie? We lie because we are unreliable and untrustworthy. Pr 25:19: “Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.” We can't trust a disjointed foot to perform like a well foot. A broken tooth will be unreliable and painful. Bite into something hard or let something cold come in contact with the broken tooth and you experience pain. We lie because of fear – fear of men, fear of not measuring up, fear of being found out. We lie to promote our self and we love to boast. Galatians 6:3: “For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.” Proverbs 27:2: “Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips. Proverbs 20:6: “Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find? Liars are self-deceived, but they are always ready to take credit for what they don't honestly deserve; like the Pharisee and the publican. iars are among those who will find themselves in hell. Revelation 21:8+ says “But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” (from notes by Lowell Johnson) And hands that shed innocent blood - Satan “was a murderer from the beginning.” (Jn 8:44) America has shed the blood of about 1.5 million babies every year since Roe vs. Wade. Our generation is becoming ingrained with the idea that human flesh is of no value. If you don't want it, destroy it. God hates hands that shed innocent blood. NET NOTE - "The hands are the instruments of murder (metonymy of cause), and God hates bloodshed. Gen 9:6 prohibited shedding blood because people are the image of God. Even David being a man of blood (in war mostly) was not permitted to build the Temple (1 Chr 22:8). But shedding innocent blood was a greater crime—it usually went with positions of power, such as King Manasseh filling the streets with blood (2 Kgs 21:16), or princes doing it for gain (Ezek 22:27)." Proverbs 6:18 A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that run rapidly to evil, BGT Proverbs 6:18 καὶ καρδία τεκταινομένη λογισμοὺς κακοὺς καὶ πόδες ἐπισπεύδοντες κακοποιεῖν NET Proverbs 6:18 a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that are swift to run to evil, NLT Proverbs 6:18 a heart that plots evil, feet that race to do wrong, ESV Proverbs 6:18 a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, NIV Proverbs 6:18 a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, KJV Proverbs 6:18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, LXE Proverbs 6:18 and a heart devising evil thoughts, and feet hastening to do evil,-- are hateful to God. ASV Proverbs 6:18 A heart that deviseth wicked purposes, Feet that are swift in running to mischief, CSB Proverbs 6:18 a heart that plots wicked schemes, feet eager to run to evil, NKJ Proverbs 6:18 A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil, NRS Proverbs 6:18 a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that hurry to run to evil, YLT Proverbs 6:18 A heart devising thoughts of vanity -- Feet hasting to run to evil -- heart: Pr 24:8 Ge 6:5 Ps 36:4 Jer 4:14 Mic 2:1 Zec 8:17 feet: Pr 1:16 Isa 59:7 Ro 3:15 Related Passages: Proverbs 6:14 Who with perversity in his heart continually devises evil, Who spreads strife. Proverbs 12:20 Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil, But counselors of peace have joy. Proverbs 14:22 Will they not go astray who devise evil? But kindness and truth will be to those who devise good. Proverbs 24:8 One who plans to do evil, Men will call a schemer. Genesis 6:5 Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. Psalms 36:4 He plans wickedness upon his bed; He sets himself on a path that is not good; He does not despise evil. Micah 2:1 Woe to those who scheme iniquity, Who work out evil on their beds! When morning comes, they do it, For it is in the power of their hands. A heart that devises wicked plans - God hates it when folks plan out evil. Wicked King Ahab and Jezebel schemed, like, cheated, and killed Naboth to get control of his vineyard. Judas schemed how he could betray the Lord Jesus. A young person plans out how he can cheat on a test without getting caught. A man and woman plan out how they can deceive their mates so they can be alone with each other. God hates it! NET NOTE "The latter term is an attributive genitive. The heart (metonymy of subject) represents the will; here it plots evil schemes. The heart is capable of evil schemes (Gen 6:5); the heart that does this is deceitful (Prov 12:20; 14:22)." Proverbs 1:16 For their feet run to evil And they hasten to shed blood. Isaiah 59:7 Their feet run to evil, And they hasten to shed innocent blood; Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity, Devastation and destruction are in their highways. Romans 3:15 “THEIR FEET ARE SWIFT TO SHED BLOOD, Feet that run rapidly to evil - The point of this proverb is that you don't have to twist this fellow's arm. At the first suggestion he is ready to yield to sin. NET NOTE - "The MT reads “make haste to run,” that is, be eager to seize the opportunity. The LXX omits “run,” that is, feet hastening to do evil. It must have appeared to the LXX translator that the verb was unnecessary; only one verb occurs in the other cola. sn The word “feet” is here a synecdoche, a part for the whole. Being the instruments of movement, they represent the swift and eager actions of the whole person to do some harm." Proverbs 6:19 A false false witness who utters lies, And one who spreads strife among brothers. BGT Proverbs 6:19 ἐκκαίει ψεύδη μάρτυς ἄδικος καὶ ἐπιπέμπει κρίσεις ἀνὰ μέσον ἀδελφῶν NET Proverbs 6:19 a false witness who pours out lies, and a person who spreads discord among family members. NLT Proverbs 6:19 a false witness who pours out lies, a person who sows discord in a family. ESV Proverbs 6:19 a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers. NIV Proverbs 6:19 a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers. KJV Proverbs 6:19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren. LXE Proverbs 6:19 An unjust witness kindles falsehoods, and brings on quarrels between brethren. ASV Proverbs 6:19 A false witness that uttereth lies, And he that soweth discord among brethren. CSB Proverbs 6:19 a lying witness who gives false testimony, and one who stirs up trouble among brothers. NKJ Proverbs 6:19 A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren. NRS Proverbs 6:19 a lying witness who testifies falsely, and one who sows discord in a family. YLT Proverbs 6:19 A false witness who doth breathe out lies -- And one sending forth contentions between brethren. A false: Pr 12:17 19:5,9 25:18 Ex 20:16 23:1 De 19:16-20 1Ki 21:10-15 Ps 27:12 35:11 Mt 15:19 26:59 Ac 6:13 spreads strife: Pr 6:14 16:28 22:10 26:20 2Ti 2:23 Jas 3:14-16,18 3Jn 1:9,10 A false false witness who utters lies - The LORD hates perjury and a lying witness (e.g., Ps 40:4; Amos 2:4; Mic 1:4). This is a direct violation of the law (Exod 20:16+). And one who spreads strife among brothers - "Dissension is attributed in Proverbs to contentious people (Pr 21:9; 26:21; 25:24) who have a short fuse (Pr 15:8)." (NET NOTE ) Waltke on spreads strife - “Seventh, the one who unleashes conflicts (see v. 14) again climactically brings the catalogue to its conclusion.” Adam Clarke describe this one as “he who troubles the peace of a family, of a village, of the state; all who, by lies and misrepresentations, strive to make men’s minds evil-affected towards their brethren.”
Provérbios 6
Morris - My son. In the first nine chapters of Proverbs--the section written for Solomon. There are seventeen specific lessons (Proverbs 1:8,10,15; 2:1; 3:1,11,21; 4:1,10,20; 5:1,7; 6:1,20; 7:1,24; 8:32), each beginning with either "my son," or "hear ye children," always emphasizing the importance of heeding the words of the teachings. if you have become surety for your neighbor - "made a pledge," "put up surety." A cosigner, one responsible for a debt should the borrower default. stranger. A neutral term; the borrower. Beware of becoming liable for the financial obligations of another. What is the solution? Deliver yourself or get released from the obligation (Pr 6:3, 5). NET NOTE - It was fairly common for people to put up some kind of financial security for someone else, that is, to underwrite another’s debts. But the pledge in view here was foolish because the debtor was a neighbor who was not well known (זָר, zar), perhaps a misfit in the community. The one who pledged security for this one was simply gullible. Have given a pledge for a stranger - Given a pledge is literally “struck your hands” so the NIV has a good rendering = “have struck hands in pledge” I still remember the days when guarantee of a pledge was signaled by a handshake (e.g., Pr 11:15; 17:18; 22:26), for the man's handshake was as good as his word. It is 2020 as I write -- those days are long gone for most people. Believers can still be men and women of their word and let the assurance provided by their handshake testify to their honesty and truthfulness which ultimately points lost to the Living Lord Jesus the Way, the Truth, the Life (Jn 14:6, cf 1 Pe 3:15). Kidner - Even to the recipient, an unconditional pledge may be an unintended disservice by exposing him to temptation and to the subsequent grief of having brought a friend to ruin. Adam
