Wisdom Hates What

12 

“I, Wisdom, live together with good judgment.
     I know where to discover knowledge and discernment.

13 

All who fear the Lord will hate evil.
     Therefore, I hate pride and arrogance,
     corruption and perverse speech.

Verse 12

If you are wise, then you will also be skilful. Your wisdom will help you to make the right decisions.

Verse 13

The first lesson in wisdom is that we must respect God.

Wisdom hates these things:

·††† Evil deeds. When we serve God, we should not do evil actions. God will teach us to do the right things. If we do wrong things, then we must ask God to forgive us.

·††† Proud people. A proud person trusts in himself. He will not listen to God. He will not listen to other people.

·††† Greedy people. God wants us to be generous.

·††† Lies. God loves the truth.

In today’s Proverbs passage, the fear of Yahweh is to hate evil.

In the next chapter of Proverbs, the fear of Yahweh is the

beginning of Wisdom.

We are wise to hate what God hates. Pride, arrogance,

the evil way and the perverse mouth is not an inclusive list of

what Yahweh hates. However, pride and arrogance are often

listed. It is not surprising that Pride is one of the seven deadly

sins.

More young people I know can list the seven deadly sins

than the Ten Commandments. Both were featured in the movies.

But it’s much more graphic to see people tortured and killed

individually for greed and sloth and anger and pride than to see a

bunch of people killed for disobeying generic commands of God.

Contemplate: A song brags Through it all, I did it my

way! Wouldn’t it have been better to do it God’s way?
