This is part 3 of a three part look at Proverbs. There's a lot more to it, of course, but next week we'll move on to the next book in the Bible.
Read
6: 16 – 19:
16 There are six things the LORD
hates,
seven that are detestable to him:
17 haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,
18 a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil,
19 a false witness who pours out lies
and a person who stirs up conflict in the
community.
Come
on, you have to read that more than once. Here again are the 7 things God hates: Having
haughty eyes implies a haughty or proud demeanor. Don’t be proud. Don’t lie.
Don’t murder. Don’t think up evil plans. Don’t follow your friends into evil
goings-on. Don’t be a false witness (no more lying, if you didn’t get number
2). Don’t stir up problems.
