<h3>WHAT GOD LIKES AND DISLIKES</h3> <div class='poem'> The eyes of the Lord are all-seeing,<br/> Keeping watch on both wicked and good.<br/> A man thinks all that he does is right,<br/> But the Lord tests the motive.<br/> A man plans the way in his mind,<br/> But the Lord directs his steps.<br/> <br/> The Lord detests a false balance,<br/> But a just balance is his delight.<br/> To do what is just and right<br/> Is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.<br/> The conduct of the wicked is hateful to him,<br/> But he loves the man eager to do right.<br/> The Lord detests the evil-minded,<br/> But is well pleased with him who lives uprightly.<br/> <br/> The sacrifice of the wicked is hateful to the Lord,<br/> But the prayer of the upright is a delight to him!<br/> The Lord holds aloof from the wicked,<br/> But hears the prayer of the upright.<br/> Lying lips are hateful to the Lord,<br/> But they who act honestly are his delight.<br/> <br/> There are six things that the Lord hates,<br/> Yes, seven are detestable to him:<br/> Haughty eyes and a lying tongue,<br/> And hands that shed innocent blood,<br/> A mind that plans wicked schemes,<br/> Feet that make haste to do evil,<br/> A false witness who utters lies,<br/> And he who sows strife between brothers.<br/></div> <p><span class="pagenum"><SPAN name="Page_213" id="Page_213">[213]</SPAN></span></p> <div style="break-after:column;"></div><br />
