The LORD examines the righteous, but the wicked, those who love violence, he hates with a passion.
The LORD examines the righteous
Deuteronomy 7:13 He will love you and bless you and increase your numbers. He will bless the fruit of your womb, the crops of your land--your grain, new wine and olive oil--the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you.
Job 23:10 "But he knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold."
but the wicked, those who love violence, he hates with a passion
Job 28:28 And he said to the human race, "The fear of the LORD--that is wisdom, and to shun evil is understanding."
Psalm 5:5 The arrogant cannot stand in your presence. You hate all who do wrong; you destroy those who tell lies. The bloodthirsty and deceitful you, LORD, detest.
Psalm 45:7 You love righteousness and hate wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy.
Isaiah 1:14-15 Your New Moon feasts and your appointed festivals I hate with all my being. They have become a burden to me; I am weary of bearing them. When you spread out your hands in prayer, I hide my eyes from you; even when you offer many prayers, I am not listening. Your hands are full of blood!
