Seven Abominations To God [May 2026 Bible Study]

SEVEN ABOMINATIONS TO GOD The “seven abominations” are found in Proverbs 6:16–19, where Scripture lists attitudes and actions that the Lord hates. “These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him…” 📖 The Seven Abominations 1. A Proud Look Pride, arrogance, and self-exaltation. God opposes pride because it lifts man above humility and dependence on Him. ________________________________________ 2. A Lying Tongue Dishonesty, deception, and falsehood. Truth reflects God’s nature; lies destroy trust and integrity. ________________________________________ 3. Hands That Shed Innocent Blood Violence, murder, or harm against the innocent. God values life and condemns unjust destruction. ________________________________________ 4. A Heart That Devises Wicked Imaginations Evil intentions, corrupt planning, and malicious thoughts. Sin often begins in the heart before it manifests outwardly. ________________________________________ 5. Feet That Are Swift in Running to Mischief Eagerness to do evil or participate in wrongdoing. A life that pursues evil rather than righteousness grieves God. ________________________________________ 6. A False Witness That Speaks Lies Giving false testimony or spreading untruths against others. False witness destroys reputations, relationships, and justice. ________________________________________ 7. One Who Sows Discord Among Brethren Creating division, conflict, or strife among people. God values unity, peace, and love among His people. ________________________________________ ✨ Key Reflection These abominations are not merely actions; many begin as attitudes of the heart: • Pride • Deception • Malice • Division God desires: • Humility • Truth • Purity • Peace • Unity ________________________________________ 🙏 Final Thought The passage serves as both a warning and a call to self-examination: May our lives reflect the character of God rather than the things He hates.
