What Yahweh Hates There are six things Yahweh hates, and seven things are abominations of his soul: 17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 18 a devising heart, plans of deception, feet that hurry to run to evil, 19 a false witness who breathes lies and sends out discord between brothers…
+ DAILY PRAYER +
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Hear my prayer, O Lord; give ear to my pleas for mercy!
In your faithfulness answer me, in your righteousness!
Evening and morning and at noon I utter my complaint and moan,
and he hears my voice.
Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you;
He will never permit the righteous to be moved.
Psalm 107:1-9
Psa 107:1 Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good,
for his steadfast love endures forever!
Psa 107:2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so,
whom he has redeemed from trouble
Psa 107:3 and gathered in from the lands,
from the east and from the west,
from the north and from the south.
Psa 107:4 Some wandered in desert wastes,
finding no way to a city to dwell in;
Psa 107:5 hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted within them.
Psa 107:6 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble,
and he delivered them from their distress.
Psa 107:7 He led them by a straight way
till they reached a city to dwell in.
Psa 107:8 Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love,
for his wondrous works to the children of man!
Psa 107:9 For he satisfies the longing soul,
and the hungry soul he fills with good things.

What Yahweh Hates
16 There are six things Yahweh hates,
and seven things are abominations of his soul:
17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue,
and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 a devising heart, plans of deception,
feet that hurry to run to evil,
19 a false witness who breathes lies
and sends out discord between brothers.
Commandment and Instruction as Guardians
20 My child, keep the commandment of your father,
and do not disregard the instruction of your mother.
21 Bind them on your heart continually;
tie them upon your neck.
22 ?When you walk?, she will lead you,
?When you lie down?, she will watch over you,
and when you awake, she will converse with you.
23 For like a lamp is a commandment, and instruction is light,
and the way of life is the reproof of discipline,
24 in order to preserve you from an evil woman,
from the smoothness of the tongue of ?an adulteress?.
25 Do not desire her beauty in your heart;
may she not capture you with her eyelashes.
26 For the price of a woman, a prostitute, is the price of a loaf of bread,
but the ?woman belonging to a man? hunts precious life.
Warning Against Relations with a Married Woman
27 Can a man carry fire in his lap,
and his clothes not burn?
28 If a man walks upon the hot coals,
will his feet not be burned?
29 Thus, he who goes to the wife of his neighbor,
any who touches her shall not go unpunished.
30 People do not despise a thief when he steals
to fill himself when he is hungry.
31 But if he is found, he will pay sevenfold,
every possession of his house he shall give.
32 He who commits adultery with a woman lacks ?sense?,
he destroys himself who does it.
33 A wound and dishonor he will find,
and his disgrace will not be wiped out.
34 For jealousy is the fury of a husband,
and he will not show restraint on the day of revenge.
35 He will not accept ?any compensation?,
and he will not be willing, though the bribe is large.
