"The righteous detest the dishonest; the wicked detest the upright." (Proverbs 29:27, NIV)
If I may, "truer words were never spoken/written." And I can say also that what/whom a people, "detest," reveals what they also love.
The Word translated here for, "detest," is, "abomination." The dictionary defines abomination as "disgust or hatred." Okay; Jesus told us that we would be hated. It is always the people who hate Jesus who hate us. Furthermore, it is always the people who love sin and its adherents who, "detest (hate) the upright."
So, the next time you believe someone detests you, consider their manner of life. It just may "make your day."
Father, in Jesus' Name, I pray that I always love what you love and, "detest," what You, "detest." Amen.

When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
