Holy Scripture
Proverbs 6:17
A church father on this verse
“"A proud eye, an unjust tongue, hands that shed just blood." He [Solomon] emphasizes evil actions through members of the body used wickedly. As the eye, the tongue and the hands act in the body, in the same manner reflection, impulse and decision act in the soul. And, he [Solomon] did not enumerate these things to us…”

In context
15Therefore his destruction shall come suddenly; Overthrow and irretrievable ruin.
16For he rejoices in all things which God hates, And he is ruined by reason of impurity of soul.
— Proverbs 6:17 —
18And a heart devising evil thoughts, And feet hastening to do evil— are hateful to God.
19An unjust witness kindles falsehoods, And brings on quarrels between brethren.
