These six things the Lord hates, indeed, seven are an abomination to Him:
A proud look [the spirit that makes one overestimate himself and underestimate others],
a lying tongue,
and hands that shed innocent blood,
a lying tongue,
and hands that shed innocent blood,
A heart that manufactures wicked thoughts and plans,
feet that are swift in running to evil,
feet that are swift in running to evil,
A false witness who breathes out lies [even under oath],
and he who sows discord among his brethren.
and he who sows discord among his brethren.
Proverbs 6:16-19 (Amplified Bible)
I got this scripture read to me a couple times when I was a young child. My mother wanted to make sure I knew just how terrible lying was. There was a lot of grace growing up, but when it came to lying there was zero grace. It was not tolerated in any form.
I wonder if we made a list of the things God hates if some of these would have even made it on our list.
