A new section, but not a new subject. The closing words, "he that soweth discord"(Pro 6:19, compare Pro 6:14), lead us to identify the sketch as taken from the same character. With the recognized Hebrew form of climax (see Pro 30:15, Pro 30:18, Pro 30:24; Amo 1:1-15; 2; Job 5:19), the teacher here enumerates six qualities as detestable, and the seventh as worse than all (seven represents completeness), but all the seven in this instance belong to one man, the man of Belial Pro 6:12.

Poole: Pro 6:16 - -- Hate to wit, above many other sins, which have a worse name in the world.

Hate to wit, above many other sins, which have a worse name in the world.

Haydock: Pro 6:16 - -- Detesteth. This expression does not always mean that the last is worse than the former. (Menochius) --- All the six sins are damnable, but the sev...

Detesteth. This expression does not always mean that the last is worse than the former. (Menochius) ---

All the six sins are damnable, but the seventh is here, most so, being against charity and unity, and the devil's sin. (Worthington) ---

Lying seems to be reprobated by three different terms. (Calmet)

Gill: Pro 6:16 - -- These six things doth the Lord hate,.... That is, the six following, which are all to be found in a man of Belial, a wicked man before described. The...

These six things doth the Lord hate,.... That is, the six following, which are all to be found in a man of Belial, a wicked man before described. There are other things besides these that God hates, and indeed more so; as sins against the first table, which more immediately strike at his being, horror, and glory; these being such as are against the second table, but are mentioned, as more especially appearing in the character of the above person; and must be hateful to God, as contrary to his nature, will, and law;

yea, seven are an abomination unto him; or, "the abomination of his soul" c; what his soul abhors, or he abhors from his very heart: meaning not seven others, but one more along with the six, which make seven; a like way of speaking, see in Pro 30:15. Nor is the word "abomination" to be restrained to the "seventh", or "hatred" to the "sixth"; but they are all to be supposed to be hateful and abominable to the Lord; though some think the cardinal number is put for the ordinal, "seven" for the "seventh"; as if the seventh, which is sowing discord among brethren, was of all the most abominable, Pro 6:19; it being what was last mentioned in the character of the wicked man, Pro 6:14; and which seems to have given occasion to, and for the sake of which this enumeration is made.
