16 These six things the Lord hates, indeed, seven are an abomination to Him:
17 A proud look [the spirit that makes one overestimate himself and underestimate others], a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 A heart that manufactures wicked thoughts and plans, feet that are swift in running to evil,
19 A false witness who breathes out lies [even under oath], and he who sows discord among his brethren.

It was a stunning experience for them. As it would be, maybe, for you. IIRC, God says he hates false idols, He hates prayer and holy days celebrated without sincerity, He hates sacrifices without justice, and more than a dozen times, He hates those who shed innocent blood.
