God’s given us some clear instruction on what he hates in these verses. Let’s take a closer look at the list.

Today’s Big Question: 

Does God hate anything in your life?

Today’s Scripture:  Proverbs 6:16-19

The Lord hates six things;

in fact, seven are detestable to him:

arrogant eyes, a lying tongue,

hands that shed innocent blood,

a heart that plots wicked schemes,

feet eager to run to evil,

a lying witness who gives false testimony,

and one who stirs up trouble among brothers.

Other verses referenced in this episode:

Haughty eyes and a proud heart, the lamp of the wicked, are sin. (Proverbs  21:4)

the haughty looks of man shall be brought low,

and the lofty pride of men shall be humbled,

and the Lord alone will be exalted in that day.

For the Lord of hosts has a day against all that is proud and lofty,

Against all that is lifted up—and it shall be brought low; (Isaiah 2:11-12)

For wicked and deceitful mouths are opened against me, 

speaking against me with lying tongues. (Psalms 109:2)

A lying tongue hates its victims,

and a flattering mouth works ruin. (Proverbs 26:28)

Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil,

but those who plan peace have joy. (Proverbs 12:20)

Do they not go astray who devise evil?

Those who devise good meet steadfast love and faithfulness. (Proverbs 14:22)

Blessed is the man who makes the Lord his trust, who does not turn to the proud, to those who go astray after a lie! (Psalm 40:4)

Everyone who hates his brother or sister is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him (1 John 3:15)
