7 Things that are an abomination to the Lord

 Proverbs 6:16-19

These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto Him : 

A proud look, A lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to Mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among the brethren. 

1. A proud look =

having haughty eyes, being arrogant, thinking of yourself as superior, being judgemental, condescending, and looking down on others. These people can not be taught and are unreachable. 

2. A lying tongue =

willingly lying, being deceitful, speaking falsehoods


3. Hands that Shed innocent blood =

committing murder, having hatred in our hearts

1st John 3:15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murder: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding within him


4. A heart that deviseth wicked imaginations =

Thinking up wicked things in your head. Devising wicked plans. Always thinking about doing something evil


5. Feet that be swift to running to mischief =

Purposely doing evil and doing it without a second thought. Always doing something that is not good in the eyes of the Lord and not caring that it's wrong, and being quick to do so without any remorse. 

If you are quick to do evil you are not going to have any remorse. 


6. A false witness that speaks lies =

Deliberately giving false testimony, Lying in court, spreading rumors about someone, creating false impressions of someone causing unfair doubt about someone's character, Not telling the whole truth, and only telling part of the truth. 


7. He that soweth discord among the brethren =

Stirring up conflict in the church, Gossiping, getting people fighting with each other, assassinating someone's character, and causing strife and division.
