Proverbs 6:16 : These six Jehovah hates; yea, seven are hateful to his soul:
Pro 6:17 a proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
Pro 6:18 a heart that plots wicked plans, feet hurrying to run to evil,
Pro 6:19 a false witness who speaks lies, and he who causes fighting among brothers.

Here is a better translation:
“There are six things that Jehovah does hate; yes, seven are things detestable to his soul: lofty eyes, a false tongue, and hands that are shedding innocent blood, a heart fabricating hurtful schemes, feet that are in a hurry to run to badness, a false witness that launches forth lies, and anyone sending forth contentions among brothers.”—Proverbs 6:16-19.
The seven categories that the proverb mentions are basic and cover virtually all types of wrongs. “Lofty eyes” and “a heart fabricating hurtful schemes” are sins committed in thought. “A false tongue” and “a false witness that launches forth lies” are sinful words. “Hands that are shedding innocent blood” and “feet that are in a hurry to run to badness” are wicked deeds. And especially hateful to Jehovah is the type of individual who takes keen delight in kindling strife among people who otherwise would dwell together peacefully. The increase in the number from six to seven suggests that the list is not intended to be complete, since humans ever keep multiplying their evil deeds. Indeed, we need to develop a loathing for what God hates. For instance, we must shun “lofty eyes” or any other display of pride. And harmful gossip is certainly to be avoided, for it can easily cause “contentions among brothers.” By spreading unkind hearsay, unjustifiable criticism, or lies, we may not be “shedding innocent blood,” but we surely can destroy another person’s good reputation.

The answer is self-explained by the evil of the statements given. Answers are found in the heart and soul. God calls to all who would hear. To continue to grope around in the darkness of your disbelief is your choice. To have the Light, you have only to call His name in prayer and expectation. To call in doubt negates the result. JTandRA

prideful people only look to themselves not too God, He wants us to be humble.
He does not want us to be liars.
He does not want us to kill people, physically or mentally.
Wicked hearts, people that are mean, hurtful, and evil. He wants us to be loving, kind and forgiving.
running to evil, how about people who run to spread gossip and hurtful things about another person. false witness, making up stories about another and spreading lies.
I hope I got it all for you

King Solomon and Jesus were in agreement. It's not the weakness of the flesh
that get us condemned. It's the defects of character, and spirit.

A Proud Look-
God hates a proud look what is a proud look? being boastful, putting yourself above others and God, he hates that. he says to humble yourselfs unto others. God wants you to be a giver not a taker that includes taking all the fame for something you might not have done or had little part in but took all the glory. He wants us to look to him not are selves and not be prideful not be all "I'm the greatest" because were not the greast, God is, He wants us to be Humble and look to him for guidence.
A Lying Tongue-
God definately hates a lying tongue. that includes white lies and Red lies orange lies and everyin thing in between. Lie will get you in so deep. They just keep pulling in more and more because in order to fix a lie you either have to tell a nother one or tell the truth. The truth hurts for a time but making a nuther lie gets you deeper then before and when you do eventually have to tell the truth anyway as you get caught in your lie it is so bad because o all the other lie before it. so just not lie in the first place then no one gets hurt. Live a truth ful life one that you can be proud of not in a proudly way of I'm better but in a way that you can say I'm not a shamed of my life and I'm the example of God and the way he wants you to be. that is the way to live.
Hands that shed inoccent Blood-
I hope you don't go out killing anybody inoccent (but I can say that that ATV thing with the guy in the truck I understand!) no but God dosen't want you going out killing people. Now you might think "I don't go out and kill people i'm not a killer or anything" but what about your words what are they saying what negitive things are coming out of your mouth that can hurt somebody in their heart what things are hearting them mentaly nside maaybe not phiscly but emotionally. Build people up make them feel ike you one cares and that God cares. Don't destroy things that God created help it grow to what He wants it to be.
A heart that plots wicked plans-
Have you ever thought about doing something wrong before you actually did it? you have a choice to allow that thought to rule you imnd in thinking about doing it or you can just cast it out of your mind and not dwell on it because "As a man thinketh so is he." Proverbs 23:7 God wants us to be loving kind and forgiving not devicing plans to hurt people or do wrong of any amount.
Feet running to evil-
Do not be quick to sin, do not run to evil run to God be quick to go to God when you have problem. when an oportiun ity arises for you to sin don't take it go to God replace evil oportuinites with Good oportuinies like spending time with God reading the bible then when evil arises you can stand firm with God and not be affected by the devil and his evil strategies. He tries with little thigns to lead you away from God and his plans for you life to Prosper. the Devil wants you to fail misserably. So don't be quick to sin, be quick to pray.
A false witness who speaks lies-
In other words some one who testifys wrongly or lies on someoneelses behalf in order for them to not get in trouble. imagin your in court and your friend di something wrong you come up to tesify and you say he didn't do it when you know he did do it but you you don't want your firend or you to get in trouble. this goes for at home when something happened and you asked what hapened and you say somehting different from the truth even if it's just a little bit you are still testifying wrongly and God hates it. And last but not least
He who causes fights among each other-
Starting strife between friends or spreading rumors about someone thats not true. Gosiping is wrong even if it's true it is still wrong. Gossiping is saying some thing true or not ture about someone thats wrong or hurt full to that person if sread wrongly. And each time it changes hands it get a litte bit differnent and that can hurt some one and cause fight or strife between friends and allies. which can fail th ewhole group or body of Christ.
audios Friends.
