There are specific actions, thoughts, speech, or influence on ourselves and from us to others that God despises in His people.
Proverbs 6:16-19 says,"There are 6 things which the Lord hates, 7 which are an 'abomination' to Him: 1- Haughty eyes,
2- A lying tongue and hands that shed innocent blood,
3- A heart that devises wicked plans,
4- Feet that make haste to run to evil,
5- A false witness who breathes out lies,
6- A man who sows discord among brothers."
Proverbs 5:1-2 says,"My son, Be attentive to My Wisdom, incline your ear to My Understanding; that you may keep discretion, and you lips may guard knowledge."
Proverbs 5:3-6 says, "For the lips of a loose woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil; but in the end she is bitter as wormwood, 'Sharp' as two-edged sword. Her 'feet' go down to Death; her 'steps' follow the 'path' to 'Sheol'; she does not take heed to 'the Path of Life'; her ways wander, and she does not know it."
5: 7-12 "Keep 'your way' far from her, and 'do not go' near the 'door' of her house; lest 'you give' your 'honor' to others and your 'years' to the merciless; lest strangers take their fill of 'your strength', and 'your labors' go to the house of 'an alien'; and at the 'end of your life' you groan, when your flesh and body are consumed.."
Isaiah 1:1-3 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.. Hear, O heavens, and give 'ear', O earth; for the Lord has spoken:"Sons I have reared and brought up, but they have rebelled against Me. The ox knows its owner, and the ass its master's crib; but Israel does not know, My people does not understand."
1:4-6 "Ah, sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, offspring of evildoers, sons who deal corruptly! They have forsaken the Lord, they have despised the Holy One of Israel, they are utterly estranged."
Jeremiah 8-4 You shall say to them, Thus says the Lord: "When men fall, do they not rise again? If one turns away, does he not return? Why then has these people turned away in 'perpetual backsliding'? They hold fast to 'deceit', they refuse to return. I have given 'heed' and 'listened', but they have not spoken aright; 'no man repents' of his wickedness, saying, 'What have I done?' "
8:7 "Even the stork in the heavens know her times; and the turtledove, swallow, and crane keep the time of their coming; but My people 'not know the Ordinance of the Lord'."
8:8"How can you say, 'We are wise, and the Law of the Lord is with us?' But, behold, 'the false pen' of the scribes 'has made it into a lie.' The 'wise men' shall be put to shame, they shall be dismayed and taken; lo, they have 'rejected the Word of the Lord', and what wisdom is in them?"
Ezekiel 16:35-39 "Wherefore, O harlot, hear the Word of the Lord: 'Because your shame was laid bare and your nakedness uncovered in your harlotries with your lovers, and because of 'all your idols', and because of 'the blood of your children' that you gave to them, therefore, behold, I will gather all your lovers, with whom you took pleasure, all those you loved and all those you loathed; I will gather them against you from every side, and will uncover your nakedness to them, that they may see all your nakedness. And I will judge you as 'women who break wedlock and shed blood' are judged, and bring upon you 'the blood of wrath and jealousy.' And I will give you 'into the hand' of your lovers, and they shall 'throw down' your 'vaulted chamber' and break down your lofty places; they shall 'strip you of your clothes' and 'take your fair jewels', and leave you naked and bare."
16:40 "They shall 'bring up' a host against you, and they shall stone you and cut you to pieces with their swords. And they shall burn your houses and execute 'judgments' upon you in the sight of many women; I will make you stop playing the harlot, and you shall also give hire no more. So I will satisfy 'My Fury on you', and 'My jealousy' shall 'depart from you'; I will be calm, and will no more be angry."
Isaiah 1:11 Give 'ear' to the 'Teaching of our God', "What to Me is the multitude of your sacrifices? says the Lord; I have had enough of Burnt Offerings of rams and the fat of fed beasts; I 'do not delight' in the blood of bulls, or of lambs, or the he-goats."
1:12"When you come to appear before Me, who requires of you 'this trampling' on My courts?"
1:13"Bring no more 'vain' offerings; 'incense is an abomination' to Me."
1:15"When you spread forth your hands, I will 'hide My Eyes' from you; even though you make many prayers, 'I will not listen'; your hands are full of blood."
1:16"Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; 'remove the evil' of your doings from 'before My Eyes'; cease to do evil, learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; defend the fatherless, plead for the widow."
