9 Bible Verses about Hating Good

“You who hate good and love evil,
Who tear the skin off my people
And their flesh from their bones;

[and they will be] unloving [devoid of natural human affection, calloused and inhumane], irreconcilable, malicious gossips, devoid of self-control [intemperate, immoral], brutal, haters of good,

Too long my soul has had its dwelling
With those who hate peace.

“How long, O naive ones [you who are easily misled], will you love being simple-minded and undiscerning?
How long will scoffers [who ridicule and deride] delight in scoffing,
How long will fools [who obstinately mock truth] hate knowledge?

Because they hated knowledge
And did not choose the fear of the Lord [that is, obeying Him with reverence and awe-filled respect],

And you say, “How I hated instruction and discipline,
And my heart despised correction and reproof!

Whoever loves instruction and discipline loves knowledge,
But he who hates reproof and correction is stupid.

Desire realized is sweet to the soul;
But it is detestable to fools to turn away from evil [which they have planned].

Now hear this, you heads of the house of Jacob
And rulers of the house of Israel,
Who hate and reject justice
And twist everything that is straight,
