Habakkuk 1:13
New King James Version
13 You are of purer eyes than to behold evil,
And cannot look on wickedness.
Why do You look on those who deal treacherously,
And hold Your tongue when the wicked devours
A person more righteous than he?
Proverbs 8:13
New King James Version
13 (A)The fear of the Lord is to hate evil;
(B)Pride and arrogance and the evil way
And (C)the perverse mouth I hate.
Psalm 5:4-7
New King James Version
4 For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness,
Nor shall evil [a]dwell with You.
5 The (A)boastful shall not (B)stand in Your sight;
You hate all workers of iniquity.
6 You shall destroy those who speak falsehood;
The Lord abhors the (C)bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
7 But as for me, I will come into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy;
In fear of You I will worship toward [b]Your holy temple.
Psalm 7:9-12
New King James Version
9 Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end,
But establish the just;
(A)For the righteous God tests the hearts and [a]minds.
10 [b]My defense is of God,
Who saves the (B)upright in heart.
11 God is a just judge,
And God is angry with the wicked every day.
12 If he does not turn back,
He will (C)sharpen His sword;
He bends His bow and makes it ready.
