  To fear the Lord is to hate evil  
 
 

Proverbs 8:13
To fear the Lord is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior, and perverse speech.

The question we need to ask ourselves is whether we hate evil or love evil? To fear the Lord is to hate evil. Just for more understanding, the dictionary meaning is given below. Do we hate them?

  • Pride: the belief that you are better or more important than other people
  • Arrogance: having or revealing an exaggerated sense of one's own importance or abilities.
  • Evil behavior: behaviors that are harmful or tending to harm.
  • Perverse speech: showing a deliberate and obstinate desire to speak in a way that is unreasonable or unacceptable.

Job 28:28 And he said to the human race, “The fear of the Lord—that is wisdom, and to shun evil is understanding.”

Application

Is there anything evil in us? Let us confess and pray for God’s grace.
