11/10/2021 – Day 173 – Proverbs 5 & 6// “Six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him”// Also – high level explanation of this reading plan and contact information.
Maybe a brother can check me on this: First, here are the seven things listed in verses 6:16 – 6:19, all of them being detestable and six of which are those that the Lord hates:
- haughty eyes
- a lying tongue
- hands that shed innocent blood
- a heart that devises wicked schemes
- feet that are quick to rush into evil
- a false witness who pours out lies.
- a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.
My guess is that the six are: #1 through #4, #6 and #7. Why? They are all injurious to fellow souls on their face.
That leaves #5 as detestable but not one of those the Lord hates. Of course #5 would seem to precede into the other sins by its very nature.
Thoughts? Neither Gill nor Henry answered my questions on this one, but perhaps I was too hasty. Prevention? Back to 4:23 and the post this week: “Admonition to guard our hearts” through steadfast prayer and immersion into The Word. SolI Deo Gloria!

So, you would read Old Testament four times a week and New Testament three times a week. I am used this so many times, I have lost count. I am unlikely to change to any other read plan. I like how you read Old Testament prophecy and then see Jesus quote the very same verses in the New Testament for the very same week from time to time.
Love,
