The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate.
O you who love the Lord, hate evil! He preserves the lives of his saints; he delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
Put away from you crooked speech, and put devious talk far from you.
Talk no more so very proudly, let not arrogance come from your mouth; for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.
By steadfast love and faithfulness iniquity is atoned for, and by the fear of the Lord one turns away from evil.
Abstain from every form of evil.
Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”
Hate evil, and love good, and establish justice in the gate; it may be that the Lord, the God of hosts, will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.
Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
A worthless person, a wicked man, goes about with crooked speech,
Therefore I consider all your precepts to be right; I hate every false way.
But God's firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of the Lord depart from iniquity.”
There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.
For you are not a God who delights in wickedness; evil may not dwell with you. The boastful shall not stand before your eyes; you hate all evildoers.
Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good.
Through your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way.
I will not set before my eyes anything that is worthless. I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling to me.
do not devise evil in your hearts against one another, and love no false oath, for all these things I hate, declares the Lord.”
For though the Lord is high, he regards the lowly, but the haughty he knows from afar.
The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom, but the perverse tongue will be cut off.
