There are six things the LORD hates- no, seven things He detests.
Proverbs 6:16
Sane (Saw-nay): to hate
to dislike intensely or passionately; feel extreme aversion for or extreme hostility toward; detest:
Toebah (to-ay-baw')
abomination: a vile, shameful, or detestable action
Defining the seven things:
- Haughty eyes: Eyes that are snobbish, prideful or scornfully arrogant.
- Lying Tongue: A mouth that contains untruthfulness and deception.
- Hands that kill the innocent: Hands that steal life.
- Feet that race to do wrong: One who seeks to do wrong before right.
- A heart that plots evil: A heart that plans and schemes with intent to harm.Â
- A false witness: One who lies about another.
- A person who sows family discord: One who purposefully "stirs the pot" so harmony cannot be enjoyed.
Defining the opposite:
- Humble and meek eyes full of compassion
- A truthful tongue with words to encourage
- Hands that love and nurture life
- Feet that race to do good
- A heart that longs to practice kindness
- A mouth that would not bear false witness
- A person who sows harmony in my family instead of discordÂ
