There are two sins which are very visible in the eye: The first is wantonness (Isa. 3.16.)

The second sin which is so visible in the eye, is Pride; Solomon speaks of a proud look (Prov. 6.17.) Six things the Lord hateth; yea, seven are an abomination to him; And the first of the seven, is, A proud look; the Hebrew is, Haughty eyes: Pride and haughtiness are seated, yea, conspicuously enthroned in the eye.

For as lifting up the eyes or looking to Heaven is a gesture of holy worship. (
