The Book of Proverbs Chapter 6 “Four Areas of Avoidance”
I. Introduction: Vs. 1-5, “Avoid Being Surety.” Vs. 6-11, “Avoid Laziness.” Vs , “Avoid the Seven Sins hated by the Lord.” Vs , “Avoid Adultery.”
IV. Avoid the Seven Sins hated by the Lord. Vs
Vs. 15, By means of the Law of V.R. and God’s Divine judgment, calamity and poor health, (due to the absence of a RMA), comes suddenly and swiftly.
Job 31:3, “Is it not calamity to the unjust and disaster to those who work iniquity?
1. Without Warning. PITHON – “Suddenly and surprisingly.” Suddenly he shall be broken, to punish him for all the wicked acts he used to capture people in his snares.
2. Without Haste. PETHA – “suddenly and immediately.” It will come instantly (God’s timing and not ours).
3. Without Relief. AYIN MARPE – “no healing or calmness.” He will be irreparably broken without remedy.
As long as he remains in his evil state without repentance, He will come to his end and none shall help him. 2 Chron 36:16; Prov 29:1; Dan 11:45
Dan 11:45, “He (antichrist) will pitch the tents of his royal pavilion between the seas and the beautiful Holy Mountain; yet he will come to his end, and no one will help him.”
Prov 29:1, “A man who hardens his neck after much reproof will suddenly be broken beyond remedy.”
2 Chron 36:16, “But they continually mocked the messengers of God, despised His words and scoffed at His prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against His people, until there was no remedy.”
In contrast the righteous believer who consistently takes in and applies God’s Word has healing due to a Relaxed Mental Attitude.
Prov 4:22, “For they (Bible Doctrines) are life to those who find them and health to all their body.”
Prov 12:18, “There is one who speaks rashly like the thrusts of a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.”
Prov 13:17, “A wicked messenger falls into adversity, but a faithful envoy brings healing.”
Prov 14:30, “A tranquil heart is life to the body, but passion is rottenness to the bones.”
Prov 15:4, “A soothing tongue is a tree of life, but perversion in it crushes the spirit.”
Prov 16:24, “Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.”
Mal 4:2, “But for you who fear My name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings; and you will go forth and skip about like calves from the stall.”
The Seven Sins hated and an abomination to the Lord. Prov 6:16-19
Prov 6:16 ends with “Him”, the 3 rd Masculine Pronominal ending on the Noun NEPHESH = His Soul!
Prov 6:16 ends with “Him”, the 3 rd Masculine Pronominal ending on the Noun NEPHESH = His Soul! These things aggrieve our Lord to the core of His being.
Prov 3:32, “For the devious are an abomination to the LORD; but He is intimate with the upright.”
6 and 7 is a similar pattern, Prov 30:15-16, 18-19, 21-31, not to give a complete list, but to stress the final item as the culmination or product of its preceding items.
The first 5 members of the list represent body parts which indicates the distorted personalities behind these types of actions.
They concern general immoral characteristics: pride, deceitfulness, violence, conniving and various motivational sins, whereas the last two belong to a judicial or governmental setting.
“Hates”, SANE, שָׂנֵא, expresses an emotional attitude toward someone or something which is abhorred, disdained or opposed, and with which a person desires to have no relationship or amiable reconciliation.
Hate is the opposite of love, (the greatest commandment – Deut 6:4; Mark 12:29; Rom 13:9; 2Cor 13:13).
It is an anthropopathism ascribing to God a human characteristic, emotion or thought process that God does not have to better understand Him and His policy toward man.
Hatred is a sin, yet is used of God to describe His disdain and rejection of certain actions or people.
The Lord “hates”: Objects symbolic of idolatry, Deut 16:22; acts of pagan worship, Deut 12:31; evil and those who love violence, Psa 11:5; bloodthirsty and deceitful men, Psa 5:5; those who commit evil deeds, Hosea 9:15; divorce, Mal 2:16; etc.
“Abomination” - TOEBAH, “A disgusting or detestable thing, abomination, or abominable.”
