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

The Lord created me as the beginning of his works, before his deeds of long ago.

The beginning of wisdom is to fear the Lord, and acknowledging the Holy One is understanding.

The Lord satisfies the appetite of the righteous, but he thwarts the craving of the wicked.

The blessing from the Lord makes a person rich, and he adds no sorrow to it.

Fearing the Lord prolongs life, but the life span of the wicked will be shortened.

The way of the Lord is like a stronghold for the upright, but it is destruction to evildoers.

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 one who walks in his uprightness fears the Lord, but the one who is perverted in his ways despises him.

In the fear of the Lord one has strong confidence, and it will be a refuge for his children.

The fear of the Lord is like a life-giving fountain, to turn people from deadly snares.

The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on those who are evil and those who are good.

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.

Better is little with the fear of the Lord than great wealth and turmoil with it.

The Lord tears down the house of the proud, but he maintains the boundaries of the widow.

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

The fear of the Lord provides wise instruction, and before honor comes humility.
