Proverbs 16:5 Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.
Proverbs 16:5-7 contains the eleventh prophecy in the book and is continually fulfilled both on earth and in hell. Scripture outlines twenty things that are an abomination to God: The perverse person (Hebrew: luwz) – one who turns aside from righteousness (3:32; 11:20). A proud look (6:16-17) and a lying tongue (6:17; 12:22). Hands that shed innocent blood (6:17). A heart that devises wicked plans (6:18). Feet that are quick to run toward evil. A false witness who tells lies (6:19). One who spreads strife among others.Wickedness in general (8:7). Dishonest scales or measurements (11:1). The sacrifices of the wicked (15:8; 21:27). The path or lifestyle of the wicked (15:9). The thoughts and intentions of the wicked (15:26). Those who are proud in heart (16:5). Those who justify the wicked and condemn the righteous (17:15). Use of unequal weights and measures (20:10, 23). Refusing to listen to God’s law [His Word] (28:9). The prayers of those in rebellion.
These actions and attitudes are abominable in God’s sight and reflect hearts that are far from His truth.
