The LORD hates a heart that devises wicked imaginations.

Pro 6:16  These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
Pro 6:17  A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
Pro 6:18  An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
Pro 6:19  A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

The LORD hates a heart that devises wicked imaginations.

Wicked imaginations- wicked plans, wicked intentions.

When we have any wickedness in us the Lord hates it.

Gen_13:13  But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.

We know Sodom was destroyed- they were wicked!

Gen_18:23  And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?

We know that God told Abraham that He WOULDN'T destroy Sodom if there were  ten NON-wicked people in Sodom, ten!  And there were NOT ten righteous! Other than Lot and His two daughters, none escaped because they were WICKED!

Exo_9:27  And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said unto them, I have sinned this time: the LORD is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.

Wickedness!

Num_16:26  And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their sins.

Wicked!

Psa_7:11  God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.

The wicked!

Psa_10:4  The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.

Wicked- Pride.

Psa_11:5  The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.

Wicked-Violence.

Psa_28:3  Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.

Wicked- Workers of Inquity- Mischief in the Heart.

Psa_37:21  The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.

Wicked - no mercy, no giving.

Psa_109:2  For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.

Wicked- a lying tongue.

Mal_3:18  Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.

Wicked- do not serve God.

The LORD hates a heart that devises wicked imaginations.

Wickedness- anything and everything that does NOT serve God.

The LORD hates wickedness and those who embrace wickedness, wanting wickedness, creating wickedness, everything wicked is all that is not of God.

If our hearts are wicked we cannot serve God and only God can clean our hearts.

Psa 51:6  Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
Psa 51:7  Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Psa 51:8  Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
Psa 51:9  Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
Psa 51:10  Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
Psa 51:11  Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
Psa 51:12  Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
Psa 51:13  Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
Psa 51:14  Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
Psa 51:15  O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.
Psa 51:16  For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.
Psa 51:17  The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

Do we see? Do we comprehend?

The love of our LORD is above all things.

The LORD hating wickedness is all things love hating all things evil.

Please LORD, please SAVIOR, please CREATOR, please keep us from all wickedness!

All by YOUR grace!
