“Hater”
Blessings folk!
Hate.
A word perverted in varied ways today.
Hear a Proverb about those who “hate”…
Pro 26:24-26
Whoever hates disguises himself with his lips
and harbors deceit in his heart;
when he speaks graciously, believe him not,
for there are seven abominations in his heart;
though his hatred be covered with deception,
his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.
ESV
The hater…
- disguises himself with his lips
- he uses his lips to cover his hate
- his lips will sound good
- his heart harbors deceit…seven abominations…fulness of abomination
- his lips are not consistent with his heart…a deceiver, a liar
What are we to do?
- when he speaks, do not believe him
- you know the old adage…”if his lips are moving, he is lying”
Fear not!
The hater, the liar, will be exposed…in the assembly…for all to see.
Maybe not in “our time”, but it will happen.
Pro 26:24-26
People may cover their hatred with pleasant words,
but they’re deceiving you.
They pretend to be kind, but don’t believe them.
Their hearts are full of many evils.
While their hatred may be concealed by trickery,
their wrongdoing will be exposed in public.
NLT
Hate not.
Lie not.
