NASB | Psalm 5:5 The boastful shall not stand before Your eyes; You hate all who do iniquity. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Psalm 5:5 The boastful and the arrogant will not stand in Your sight; You hate all who do evil. |
Bible Question: Psalm 5:5 "for you hate all who do evil". My youth group and I are struggling with this one. They're not understanding how God can hate anyone if he's supposed to be a God of love. Can someone give me a way to explain it well? |
Bible Answer: Greetings TKBjork, Whe you don't understand a passage it sometimes helps to look at other translations. Many times when you do the passage becomes much clearer. Consider these translations: God's word: Those who brag cannot stand in your sight. You hate all troublemakers Message Bible: Hot-Air-Boaster collapses in front of you; you shake your head over Mischief-Maker Literal Translation: The boasters shall not set themselves before Your eyes. You hate all workers of iniquity. New King James: The foolish shall not stand in Your sight. You hate all doers of iniquity. Hope this along with what Kalos said helps. prayon |
