- Proverbs 6:16-19
- 16 These six things the Lord hates;
- Indeed, seven are repulsive to Him:
- 17 A proud look [the attitude that makes one overestimate oneself and discount others],
- A lying tongue,
- And hands that shed innocent blood,
- 18 A heart that creates wicked plans,
- Feet that run swiftly to evil,
- 19 A false witness who breathes out lies [even half-truths],
- And one who spreads discord (rumors) among brothers.
- Proverbs 3:32-35

- but takes the upright into his confidence.
- 33 The Lord’s curse is on the house of the wicked,

- Zechariah 8:16-17
- 16 These are the things which you should do:
- Speak the truth with one another;
- Judge with truth
- And pronounce the judgment that brings peace in [the courts at] your gates.
- 17 And let none of you devise or even imagine evil in your heart against another,
- And do not love lying or half-truths;
- For all these things I hate,’
- Declares the Lord.”
- Isaiah 65:1-7
- 1 “I let Myself be sought by those who did not ask for Me;
- I let Myself be found by those who did not seek Me.
- I said, ‘Here am I, here am I,’
- To the nation [Israel] which did not call on My Name.
- 2 “I have spread out My hands all the day long
- To a rebellious and stubborn people,
- Who walk in the way that is not good,
- [following] after their own thoughts and intentions,
- 3 The people who continually provoke Me to My face,
- Sacrificing [to idols] in gardens
- And making offerings with incense on bricks [instead of at the designated altar];
- 4 Who sit among the graves [trying to conjure up evil spirits]
- And spend the night in the secret places [where spirits are thought to dwell];
- Who eat swine’s flesh,
- And their pots hold the broth of [a]unclean meat;
- 5 Who say, ‘Keep to yourself, do not come near me,
- For I am too holy for you [and you might defile me]!’
- These [people] are smoke in My nostrils,
- A fire that burns all the day.
- 6 “Indeed, it is written before Me,
- I will not keep silent, but I will repay;
- I will even repay it [directly] into their [c]arms,
- 7 Both your own wickedness and the wickedness of your fathers,” says the Lord.
- “Since they too have made offerings with incense on the mountains
- And scorned and taunted Me on the hills,
- I therefore will measure [punishment for] their former work [directly] into their arms.”
- Isaiah 66:3-4
- 3 “He who kills an ox [for pagan sacrifice] is [as guilty] as one who kills a man;
- He who sacrifices a lamb, as one who breaks a dog’s neck;
- He who offers a grain offering, as one who offers swine’s blood;
- He who offers incense, as one who blesses an idol.
- Such people have chosen their own ways,
- And their soul delights in their repulsive acts;
- 4 So I will choose their punishments,
- And will bring the things they dread upon them
- Because I called, but no one answered;
- I spoke, but they did not listen or obey.
- But they did evil in My sight
- And chose that in which I did not delight.”
