Proverbs 6:16-19
Here are six things God hates, and one more that he loathes with a passion:
eyes that are arrogant,
a tongue that lies,
hands that murder the innocent,
a heart that hatches evil plots,
feet that race down a wicked track,
a mouth that lies under oath,
a troublemaker in the family.
What’s there to elaborate?
Eyes that are arrogant – “what is she wearing today…? good grief…look at that hairdo…those shoes don’t match what she is wearing…she doesn’t know how to dress – like “ME,” says the popular chick.
A tongue that lies – “oh let’s pray for the Wilcox family… I heard he is cheating on his wife… she wants a divorce and the Pastor is telling her that she needs to stay…” Says the jealous and so-called friend.
Hands that lead to murder – “I’m gonna dress up like the joker and shoot some innocent people” says the clown in the Colorado theater killings.
The heart that hatches evil plots – “you know I need that promotion… That position that Harold holds right now… I am going set something up to get fired… After all I deserve it… I’ve been here longer than anyone,” says the evil co-worker.
The feet that race down a wicked track – “dude… It’s going down tonight – be there!” Says the foolish teen.
The mouth that lies under oath – “what ever, I am a senator, I mean a representative. No, I meant the President of the USA… Whatever, it’s my life, my taxes, it’s my benefits…” Say the liar.
A troublemaker in the family – “I am not the black sheep of this family…” yes you are! “No, I am not the black sheep of this family…” Yes you are! “You know what, that person should not have left a penny in your bank accounts when your credit cards went missing…” It was you who stole the credit cards – you are the black sheep.
Good and important advice to heed. But it is hard to hear if you are in the middle of those things. Best use it to help avoid getting there.
