for one who goes astray is an abomination to the Lord, but he reveals his intimate counsel to the upright.

There are six things that the Lord hates, even seven things that are an abomination to him:

The Lord abhors dishonest scales, but an accurate weight is his delight.

The Lord abhors those who are perverse in heart, but those who are blameless in their ways are his delight.

The Lord abhors a person who lies, but those who deal truthfully are his delight.

The Lord abhors the sacrifices of the wicked, but the prayer of the upright pleases him.

The Lord abhors the way of the wicked, but he loves those who pursue righteousness.

The Lord abhors the plans of the wicked, but pleasant words are pure.

Doing wickedness is an abomination to kings, because a throne is established in righteousness.

The one who acquits the guilty and the one who condemns the innocent – both of them are an abomination to the Lord.

Diverse weights and diverse measures – the Lord abhors both of them.

The Lord abhors differing weights, and dishonest scales are wicked.

An unjust person is an abomination to the righteous, and the one who lives an upright life is an abomination to the wicked.

The Lord abhors every arrogant person; rest assured that they will not go unpunished.
