These six [things] doth the LORD hate: yea, seven [are] an abomination unto him:
Ver. 16. These six things doth the Lord hate.] That is, He detesteth, damneth, punisheth them in the sluggard, whose soul is the sink of all these ensuing evils. Where note, that sin makes wicked men the object of God's hatred; the saints, of his pity: as we hate poison in a toad, but we pity it in a man; in the one, it is their nature, in the other, their disease.
Yea, seven are an abomination to him.] Or, That seventh a his soul abhorreth, that sowing of discord among brethren heighteneth and completeth his hatred of the rest.
a Septimum abominatio animae illius.
