Proverbs 8:13

1819–1905
Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"The fear of Jehovah is to hate evil: Pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, And the perverse mouth, do I hate." — Proverbs 8:13 (ASV)

The fear of the Lord is to hate evil. Because there can never be any truce between the kingdoms of light and darkness (Matthew 6:24), so if we are the friend of one, we must be the enemy of the other.

Pride and arrogancy ... do I hate. See above on Proverbs 6:17.
