A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood. The "proud look" - literally, 'haughty eyes' (Psalms 18:27; Psalms 101:5; Psalms 131:1) - stands first; as it is often characteristic of the idle and froward (though such a one is utterly without anything to be proud of, Proverbs 26:16); and it especially "soweth discord" (Proverbs 6:19). Ephesians 4:2, on the contrary, puts "lowliness" first, as being the basis of all other graces.
