In
the Book of Proverbs, we are told of types of people and
actions that God hates or detests. Let the following be your
guidelines of what not to be or do!
VIOLENT
PEOPLE
PERVERSE
PEOPLE
Proverbs
3:32 (NIV) says “For
the Lord detests the perverse but takes the upright into his
confidence.”
Proverbs 11:20 (NIV) says
“The Lord detests
those whose hearts are perverse, but he delights in those whose ways
are blameless.”
DISHONEST
PEOPLE
Proverbs 11:1 (NIV) says “The Lord detests dishonest
scales, but accurate weights find favor with him.”
UNTRUTHFUL
PEOPLE
Proverbs
12:22 (NIV) says “The
Lord detests lying lips, but he delights in people who are
trustworthy.”
WICKED
PEOPLE
Proverbs
15:8 (NIV) says “The
Lord detests the sacrifice of the wicked, but the prayer of the
upright pleases him.”
Proverbs
15:9 (NIV) says “The
Lord detests the way of the wicked, but he loves those who pursue
righteousness.”
Proverbs
15:26 (NIV) says “The
Lord detests the thoughts of the wicked, but gracious words are pure
in his sight.”
PROUD
PEOPLE
Proverbs
16:5 (NIV) says “The
Lord detests all the proud of heart. Be sure of this: They will not
go unpunished.”
Pride
is the inner voice that whispers, “My way is best.” It is
resisting God’s leadership and believing that you are able to live
without His help. Whenever you find yourself wanting to do it your
way and not God’s way, you are being pulled by pride. Only when
you eliminate pride can God help you become all He meant you to be.
PEOPLE
WHO JUDGE UNJUSTLY
Proverbs
17:15 (NIV) says “Acquitting the guilty and condemning
the innocent—the Lord detests them both.”
7
MORE THINGS GOD HATES OR DETESTS
Proverbs
6:16-19 (NIV) says “There
are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him:
haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart
that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a
false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict
in the community.”
