Abominations

Proverbs regarding abominations. God detests sin; all sin, not just the evils listed in these proverbs.

Conversely, as the final entry on this page shows, love is abhored by evil.


  1. There are six things that the LORD hates, even seven things that are an abomination to him:
    haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

    a false witness who pours out lies, and a person who spreads discord among family members.
