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

Yet if he is caught he must repay seven times over, he might even have to give all the wealth of his house.

He will not consider any compensation; he will not be willing, even if you multiply the compensation.

A righteous person cares for the life of his animal, but even the most compassionate acts of the wicked are cruel.

Even in laughter the heart may ache, and the end of joy may be grief.

A poor person is disliked even by his neighbors, but those who love the rich are many.

The wicked will be thrown down in his trouble, but the righteous have refuge even in the threat of death.

Wisdom rests in the heart of the discerning; it is known even in the heart of fools.

The Lord works everything for its own ends -- even the wicked for the day of disaster.

When a person's ways are pleasing to the Lord, he even reconciles his enemies to himself.

Even a fool who remains silent is considered wise, and the one who holds his tongue is deemed discerning.

The sluggard plunges his hand in the dish, and he will not even bring it back to his mouth!

Even a young man is known by his actions, whether his activity is pure and whether it is right.

So that your confidence may be in the Lord, I am making them known to you today -- even you.

Do not withhold discipline from a child; even if you strike him with the rod, he will not die.

A poor person who walks in his integrity is better than one who is perverse in his ways even though he is rich.

The one who turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination.
