A new proverb was posted on Friday, July 22 in the Mishlei section. [The text was subsequently updated on Thursday July 28.]

A serious offense does not happen instananeously. The offender goes through a sequenced progression of thoughts, speech, and action to result in the harm done to another person. During the course of this progression, the offender is likely to give himself away with subtle body language, including movements of the eyes and lips.
