What the Lord our God hates
[5] The Lord examines the righteous,
but the wicked, those who love violence,
he hates with a passion.
----------------------------------------------
[7] The righteous care about justice for the poor,
but the wicked have no such concern.
----------------------------------------------
[31] Do not envy the violent
or choose any of their ways.
[32] For the Lord detests the perverse
but takes the upright into his confidence.
----------------------------------------------
[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.
