Proverbs 6:16

There are six things that the Lord hates, even ¹  seven ²  things that are an abomination to him: ³ 

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

There are six things which the LORD hates, Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him:

There are six things the LORD hates––no, seven things he detests:

Here are six things GOD hates, and one more that he loathes with a passion:

Six things are hated by the Lord; seven things are disgusting to him:

There are six things that the LORD hates, seven that are an abomination to him:

These six things the LORD hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him:

There are six things that the Lord hates, even ¹  seven ²  things that are an abomination to him: ³ 

¹ tn The conjunction has the explicative use here (R. J. Williams, Hebrew Syntax, 71, §434).

² sn This saying involves a numerical ladder, paralleling six things with seven things (e.g., also 30:15, 18, 21, 24, 29). The point of such a numerical arrangement is that the number does not exhaust the list (W. M. Roth, “The Numerical Sequence x / x +1 in the Old Testament,” VT 12 [1962]: 300-311; and his “Numerical Sayings in the Old Testament,” VT 13 [1965]: 86).

³ tn Heb “his soul.”
