²¹ Are not your haters hated by me, O Lord? are not those who are lifted up against you a cause of grief to me?

¹⁵⁸ I saw with hate those who were untrue to you; for they did not keep your saying.

⁶ I am full of hate for those who go after false gods; but my hope is in the Lord.

² And Jehu, the son of Hanani the seer, went to King Jehoshaphat and said to him, Is it right for you to go to the help of evil-doers, loving the haters of the Lord? because of this, the wrath of the Lord has come on you.

⁶ But at least you have the credit of hating the works of the Nicolaitans, as I do.

¹ I say what is true in Christ, and not what is false, my mind giving witness with me in the Holy Spirit,

² That I am full of sorrow and pain without end.

¹³⁶ Rivers of water are flowing from my eyes, because men do not keep your law.

⁵ I have been a hater of the band of wrongdoers, and I will not be seated among sinners.

⁴ Who gives honour to those who have the fear of the Lord, turning away from him who has not the Lord's approval. He who takes an oath against himself, and makes no change.
