Which verse states that God hates all abomination?

• A. Ecclesiasticus 15:13
• B. Proverbs 3:5
• C. Isaiah 54:17
• D. Matthew 7:1

Answer: (A)

The verse that directly states God hates abomination is found in Ecclesiasticus (Sirach) 15:13: “The Lord hateth all abomination, and they that fear him love him.” This line makes the idea explicit: God detests moral abominations, while reverence for Him is shown by loving Him. Ecclesiasticus, a deuterocanonical book in Catholic and Orthodox traditions, emphasizes wisdom and reverence for the Lord. The other verses address different themes—trusting in the Lord (Proverbs 3:5), divine protection against injustice (Isaiah 54:17), and not judging others (Matthew 7:1)—so they don’t state God’s stance on abomination.
