In this meditation on Proverbs 6:16–35, we consider a solemn passage that begins with the seven things the Lord hates and then turns to the preserving power of His Word. The commandment is described as a lamp, the law as light, and reproofs of instruction as the way of life.

This portion searches the heart, warns against pride, lying, false witness, discord among brethren, and the deadly path of moral impurity. With direct Scripture readings from the KJV and commentary from Harry Ironside, this episode reminds us that God’s warnings are not given to burden the soul, but to preserve it from destruction.

“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says...” — Revelation 2:29
