Java Version: 1.6.0_65
Java seems out of date, try updating it to the latest version (1.7.0_65 / 1.8.0_11): http://www.java.com/en/download/.
When using a 32-bit browser on a 64-bit operating system the automatic version detection will only show the 32-bit version of Java, the 64-bit version needs to be downloaded manually: http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp.
EDIT: Whoops didn't see Kumasasa's comment 🙂.

Nevermind guys, I fixed it myself by reinstalling everything inside my .minecraft folder. Thank you for helping anyways though 😉

@@unknown:
Operating System: Mac OS X (x86_64) version 10.9.5
OS X and Java is a complicated relationship, see MCL-1049
Currently we are only accepting bug reports for the latest version (1.8/1.8.1), 1.7.x is no longer supported.
