SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:16
Seis cosas aborrece el SEŃOR, y aun siete abomina su alma:
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 6:16
Verse 16. These six-doth the Lord hate ] 1. A proud look- exalted eyes; those who will not condescend to look on the rest of mankind. 2. A lying tongue-he who neither loves nor tells truth. 3. Hands that shed innocent blood, whether by murder or by battery. 4. A heart that deviseth wicked imaginations-the heart that fabricates such, lays the foundation, builds upon it, and completes the superstructure of iniquity. 5. Feet that be swift in running to mischief-he who works iniquity with greediness. 6. A false witness that speaketh lies-one who, even on his oath before a court of justice, tells any thing but the truth. Seven are an abomination unto him ] wvpn naphŤhs , "to his soul." The seventh is, he that soweth discord among brethren- he who troubles the peace of a family, of a village, of the state; all who, by lies and misrepresentations, strive to make men's minds evil-affected towards their brethren.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 16. These six [things] doth the Lord hate , etc.] 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” f147 ; 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 ( Proverbs 30:15,18,29 Job 5:19). 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, ( Proverbs 6:19); it being what was last mentioned in the character of the wicked man, ( Proverbs 6:14); and which seems to have given occasion to, and for the sake of which this enumeration is made.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 12-19 - If the slothful are to be condemned, who do nothing, much more thos that do all the ill they can. Observe how such a man is described. He says and does every thing artfully, and with design. His ruin shal come without warning, and without relief. Here is a list of thing hateful to God. Those sins are in a special manner provoking to God which are hurtful to the comfort of human life. These things which God hates, we must hate in ourselves; it is nothing to hate them in others Let us shun all such practices, and watch and pray against them; an avoid, with marked disapproval, all who are guilty of them, whateve may be their rank.
