SCRIPTURE PROVERBS 6:16-19
New Living Translation (Chapter 6)
16 There are six things the LORD hates—no, seven things he detests:17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that kill the innocent,18 a heart that plots evil, feet that race to do wrong, 19 a false witness who pours out lies, a person who sows discord in a family.

WEEK 1 FOOLISH PRIDE
The first five things the Lord hates are body parts set in a sequence that moves generally from the head to the feet (eyes, tongue, hands, heart, feet), and the last two are specific types of persons (the false witness and the troublemaker
“Haughty eyes” are eyes that are lifted up in arrogance. The position of the eyes describes the attitude of the heart. The arrogant spirit may vaunt itself against any and all people, but fundamentally this reflects haughtiness before God and refusal to reckon with one’s finitude and creatureliness.
HOW DO WE TYPICALLY DESCRIBE GOD’S CHARACTER? IS THE LANGUAGE IN THIS SCRIPTURE TYPICAL OF HOW WE USUALLY DESCRIBE GOD’S CHARACTER?

DEFINITION
DEFINITION
HATE - TO DISLIKE INTENSELY FEEL ANTIPATHY OR AVERSION FOR (DEEP SEATED FEELING OR DISLIKE)
THE USE OF NUMERIC EXPRESSION IS USED TO PUT EMPHASIS ON WHAT IS BEING SAID AND TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION.
GOD’S STRONG DISLIKE FOR THE SINS LISTED DOES NOT SUGGEST THAT GOD WINKS AT OTHER SINS THAT DID NOT MAKE THIS LIST.
MAKE THE DISTINCTION IN THE NOUN. GOD HATES THE THING NOT THE PERSON.

DEFINING SIN
AN IMMORAL ACT CONSIDERED TO BE A TRANSGRESSION AGAINST GODS DIVINE LAW
Look at Isaiah 14:12-17(References Babylonian King, but describes Lucifer getting
kicked out of heaven) and Ezekiel 28:12-8 {Scripture refers to the King of Tyre; however describes the fall of Lucifer/Satan.) What character traits and actions of Satan match what God hates in Proverbs 6:16-19?
