Wisdom From the Book

Proverbs 6:16-19

There are six things which the Lord hates,

Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him:

haughty eyes,

[sees oneself as better than others]

a lying tongue,

[tells the truth only when it's convenient]

hands that shed innocent blood,

[hurts those who haven't done anything wrong]

a heart that devises wicked plans,

[thinks of ways to do evil]

feet that run rapidly to evil,

[eager to be involved in doing wrong]

a false witness who utters lies,

[lying to help a friend or to hurt another]

one who spreads strife among brothers.

[fostering turmoil among members, friends or family members]

~~~~~~~~~~~~

These actions are not only hated by God,

but are harmful to others, and are devastating

to the one who does them.
