Proverbs 6:19

One who breathes out (expels, exhales) lies (untruths, illusions, delusions – Hebr. kazav), a false (Hebr. sheqer) witness. [Someone who speaks untruths in everything he says, even under oath.] Someone who sows (spreads; unleashes; gives free rein to) discord (disharmony, division) among (between his) brothers. [This list is written to be easily memorized. The first five points are illustrated using five body parts mentioned from top to bottom (eyes, tongue, outstretched hands, heart, and feet) – the last two describe two character types (a false witness and one who creates division). If God hates these seven things, then their opposites are blessed and desirable. God wants to see: humility, truth, preservation of life, pure thoughts, eagerness to do good, honest witnesses, and reconciliation. Jesus addresses these points (and more) in the Sermon on the Mount, see Matt. 5. The first point in Jesus' teaching (about "the poor in spirit," see Matt. 5:5) is the opposite of the first point here (about "proud eyes," see verse 17), and what Jesus highlights as the seventh point in his sermon (about "peacemakers," see Matt. 5:7) also has its opposite here (about "sowing discord," see verse 19) in seventh place.]
