Proverbs 6 - 6 or 7 Things....

Much could be said about other teaching in this Zproverb, but for to just focu on these verses...

Pro 6:16  These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

So what are they?

Pro 6:17  A proud look, 

a lying tongue, 

and hands that shed innocent blood,

Pro 6:18  An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, 

feet that be swift in running to mischief,

Pro 6:19  A false witness that speaketh lies, 

and he that soweth discord among brethren.

Old John Gill writes:

Proverbs 6:16

These six things doth the Lord hate,.... That is, the six following, which are all to be found in a man of Belial, a wicked man before described. There are other things besides these that God hates, and indeed more so; as sins against the first table, which more immediately strike at his being, horror, and glory; these being such as are against the second table, but are mentioned, as more especially appearing in the character of the above person; and must be hateful to God, as contrary to his nature, will, and law;

yea, seven are an abomination unto him; or, "the abomination of his soul" (c); what his soul abhors, or he abhors from his very heart: meaning not seven others, but one more along with the six, which make seven; a like way of speaking, see in Pro 30:15. Nor is the word "abomination" to be restrained to the "seventh", or "hatred" to the "sixth"; but they are all to be supposed to be hateful and abominable to the Lord; though some think the cardinal number is put for the ordinal, "seven" for the "seventh"; as if the seventh, which is sowing discord among brethren, was of all the most abominable, Pro 6:19; it being what was last mentioned in the character of the wicked man, Pro 6:14; and which seems to have given occasion to, and for the sake of which this enumeration is made.

And as for the seventh listed, we have...

Proverbs 6:19

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.

Perhaps this last might be rather called a community disorganizer!
