Contextual Overview

12 An vngodly person, a wicked man, goeth with a frowarde mouth. 13 He winketh with his eyes, he tokeneth with his feete, he teacheth with his fingers. 14 He is euer imagining mischiefe and frowardnes in his heart, and causeth discorde. 15 Therefore shall his destruction come hastyly vpon hym, sodainly shall he be all to broken, and not be healed. 16 These sixe thinges doth the Lorde hate, and the seuenth he vtterly abhorreth: 17 A proude loke, a lying tongue, handes that shed innocent blood, 18 An heart that goeth about wicked imaginations, feete that be swyft in running to mischiefe, 19 A false witnesse that bringeth vp lyes, and hym that soweth discorde among brethren.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

A false witness [that] speaketh lies,.... Or, "that speaketh lies, [even] a false witness" f; and so this is distinguished from a lying tongue, the second of these evils: this is the sin of bearing false witness against one's neighbour, a breach of the eighth command. It may be rendered, "he that bloweth lies" g; that raises lies, and spreads them abroad, and swears to them, to the damage of others. This makes the sixth; and the seventh follows,

and him that soweth discord among brethren; whether in a natural relation, or in a civil society, or in a religious community.

f So Vatablus, Mercerus, &c. g יפיח כזבים "qui efflat mendacia", Piscator, Michaelis.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

A new section, but not a new subject. The closing words, “he that soweth discord” (Proverbs 6:19, compare Proverbs 6:14), lead us to identify the sketch as taken from the same character. With the recognized Hebrew form of climax (see Proverbs 30:15, Proverbs 30:18, Proverbs 30:24; Amos 1:1-15; Amos 2:0; Job 5:19), the teacher here enumerates six qualities as detestable, and the seventh as worse than all (seven represents completeness), but all the seven in this instance belong to one man, the man of Belial Proverbs 6:12.
