In my blog reading, somebody quoted someone else quoting Shakespeare and thinking it was from the Bible. I followed the link and discovered the interesting citation below in a brief discussion of the "seven deadly sins," which don't appear in scripture (not even apocryphal).
"Also of interest is a Scriptural list that bears at least some similarity to the historical list of seven. Proverbs 6:16-19 reveals:
These six things the Lord hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil, A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren."
Oh, that reminds me of a wonderful, wonderful cheap shot somebody on line took at George W. Bush. One of those moments where I say, "Oh, of course!" Just thought of that.
