JOE: Alright, so we're talking about Proverbs 6! What can you tell us about that chapter?

BIBLE EXPERT: Well, Proverbs 6 is all about the seven things that God hates and the six things that He detests.

JOE: Wait, what? Seven things God hates? What does that mean?

BIBLE EXPERT: Yes, that's right. God hates a proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that are swift in running to evil, a false witness that speaks lies, and one who sows discord among brethren.

JOE: Whoa, that's intense. What about the six things He detests?

BIBLE EXPERT: He detests a person who turns away his ear from hearing the law, one who blesses his neighbor with a perverse heart, one who departs from the truth of his mouth, one who neglects his duties, one who has a haughty look and an arrogant heart, and one who spreads strife among brothers.

JOE: Wow, that's a lot to take in! Anything else in the chapter?

BIBLE EXPERT: Yes, the chapter also cautions us against being lazy and advises us to be industrious. It also urges us to stay away from wicked people and to be wise in our dealings. Finally, it warns us not to be a surety for someone else's debt.
