Proverbs 6:16 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

Here are the fruits of such a man's conduct as Solomon described, and the Holy Ghost hath given a fuller catalogue, Galatians 5:19-21 And as a beautiful contrast, in the fruit of the Holy Ghost upon the souls of his people, he adds the 22d and 23d verses in the same chapter. (Galatians 5:22-23)
