Proverbs 6:16
There are six things that the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to Him:
BSB
ASV
There are six things which Jehovah hateth; Yea, seven which are an abomination unto him:
KJV
These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
There are six things that the Lord hates, etc. He more fully indicates how detestable he is to God by sowing discord. But when the Lord says "soul," He does it in a human manner, to signify that He hates such people with full intention …
These six - doth the Lord hate - 1. A proud look - exalted eyes; those who will not condescend to look on the rest of mankind. 2. A lying tongue - he who neither loves nor tells truth. 3. Hands that shed innocent blood, whether by murder or by battery. 4. A heart that deviseth wicked imaginations - the heart that fabricates such, lays the foundation, builds upon it, and completes the superstructure of iniquity. 5. Feet that be swift in running to mischief - he who works iniquity with greediness.

Proverbs 8:13To fear the LORD is to hate evil; I hate arrogant pride, evil conduct, and perverse speech.
leads to
Hate evil, O you who love the LORD! He preserves the souls of His saints; He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
By loving devotion and faithfulness iniquity is atoned for, and by the fear of the LORD one turns aside from evil.
Do not boast so proudly, or let arrogance come from your mouth, for the LORD is a God who knows, and by Him actions are weighed.
Put away deception from your mouth; keep your lips from perverse speech.
Abstain from every form of evil.

Proverbs 17:15Acquitting the guilty and condemning the righteous—both are detestable to the LORD.
leads to
Stay far away from a false accusation. Do not kill the innocent or the just, for I will not acquit the guilty.
Showing partiality to the wicked is not good, nor is depriving the innocent of justice.
