There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him:
The Lord tests the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence.
The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate.
Those of crooked heart are an abomination to the Lord, but those of blameless ways are his delight.
for the devious person is an abomination to the Lord, but the upright are in his confidence.
For all who do such things, all who act dishonestly, are an abomination to the Lord your God.
He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous are both alike an abomination to the Lord.
A false balance is an abomination to the Lord, but a just weight is his delight.
The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord, but the prayer of the upright is acceptable to him. The way of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord, but he loves him who pursues righteousness.
Thus says the Lord: “For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment, because he burned to lime the bones of the king of Edom.
Thus says the Lord: “For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment, because he pursued his brother with the sword and cast off all pity, and his anger tore perpetually, and he kept his wrath forever.
Thus says the Lord: “For three transgressions of Tyre, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment, because they delivered up a whole people to Edom, and did not remember the covenant of brotherhood.
Thus says the Lord: “For three transgressions of Gaza, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment, because they carried into exile a whole people to deliver them up to Edom.
Thus says the Lord: “For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment, because they have threshed Gilead with threshing sledges of iron.
Under three things the earth trembles; under four it cannot bear up:
Unequal weights are an abomination to the Lord, and false scales are not good.
then her former husband, who sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after she has been defiled, for that is an abomination before the Lord. And you shall not bring sin upon the land that the Lord your God is giving you for an inheritance.
You shall not bring the fee of a prostitute or the wages of a dog into the house of the Lord your God in payment for any vow, for both of these are an abomination to the Lord your God.
There shall not be found among you anyone who burns his son or his daughter as an offering, anyone who practices divination or tells fortunes or interprets omens, or a sorcerer or a charmer or a medium or a necromancer or one who inquires of the dead, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord. And because of these abominations the Lord your God is driving them out before you.
Thus says the Lord: “For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment, because they sell the righteous for silver, and the needy for a pair of sandals—
Thus says the Lord: “For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment, because they have rejected the law of the Lord, and have not kept his statutes, but their lies have led them astray, those after which their fathers walked.
Three things are stately in their tread; four are stately in their stride:
Unequal weights and unequal measures are both alike an abomination to the Lord.
But nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or false, but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life.
Four things on earth are small, but they are exceedingly wise:
Three things are too wonderful for me; four I do not understand:
