Pet Peeves of God

Proverbs 6:12-19

A naughty person is also an evil doer,
Causes trouble with deception and lies;
With a mind that is deep in the sewer,
As he is making signs with his eyes.

He also gives news by rubbing his feet,
Making hand jesters with his fingers;
While his mind is conniving to defeat,
As ideas of violent acts within lingers.

There are six things hated by the Lord,
And seven things thoroughly disgust;
Of eternal condemnation given toward,
For those who continued desire to lust.

A deceiving tongue and eyes with pride,
Or murdering another without a cause;
A heart full of evil etched deep inside,
Or feet lured by sin breaking His laws.

Bearing false witness and untrue words,
Or acts of violence to another person;
These are things that go on His records,
Come judgment day will act as poison.
