Seven things God hates

There are six things that the Lord hates, seven things that are detestable to him:

haughty eyes,
Eyes of superiority, of condescension, of pride. If eyes are the window to the soul, haughty eyes are the window to an egotistical and selfish soul.

a lying tongue,
Misleading, leaving out facts to make your point, outright lying in order to get what you want. Back to selfishness and pride.

hands that shed innocent blood,
Harming the least of these ... those who cannot defend themselves, such as a baby in the womb. Who knew the mother could be an accomplice in the shedding of that innocent blood?

a heart that devises wicked schemes,
Premeditated, malicious scheming.

feet that are quick to rush into evil,
Looking for trouble, with a heart pointed toward evil instead of good.

a false witness who pours out lies,
Accusing (remember, the enemy is also known as the Accuser).

and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.
Starting rumors, gossip, slander ... general troublemaking.

All of these are based in pride and selfishness.
