Bible Note: Hi Tim, It's interesting to note something in this group of verses. Proverbs 6:16-19 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: [17] A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, [18] An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, [19] A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren. Five of the seven things that God hates aren’t what we would call overt; but they fall into a category of things we do with our minds, or what we conceive with our old sin natures. Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? Have a great day, CDBJ |
