In context

13 Making signs with his eyes, rubbing with his feet, and giving news with his fingers;

14 His mind is ever designing evil: he lets loose violent acts.

15 For this cause his downfall will be sudden; quickly he will be broken, and there will be no help for him.

16 Six things are hated by the Lord; seven things are disgusting to him:

17 Eyes of pride, a false tongue, hands which take life without cause;

18 A heart full of evil designs, feet which are quick in running after sin;

19 A false witness, breathing out untrue words, and one who lets loose violent acts among brothers.
