Deceitful Pride


Proverbs 6:16-19

The things that our Lord truly does despise,
Killing others, lying tongues, haughty eyes;
A conniving heart that's full of wickedness,
Someone who pours out lies as a witness;
A person who provokes another to discord,
One who rushes to evil instead of the Lord.
God really hates when we get full of pride,
Becoming boastful and cocky deep inside;
A tendency for arrogance and to deceive,
Only thinking of personal gain to achieve;
Looking for all possible ways to get ahead,
Not even caring who might just get misled;
The priority for themselves is their own,
No one else will fit into their cornerstone;
They have their clique feeling as the elite,
Love looking in the mirror full of conceit;
There is no doubt for a change in attitude,
Confess to God and express Him gratitude;
Get back on track with staying on His path,
Before meeting fate and feeling God's wrath.
