About this episode

Dan Price and Scott Keith discuss the seven detestable sins listed in Proverbs 6:16-19 and their implications for the human heart, ultimately focusing on the hope found in Christ.

In this episode of Tough Texts , Dan Price and Scott Keith dive into Proverbs 6:16–19 , unpacking the surprising list of seven things God hates—and why pride, gossip, scheming, and discord strike closer to home than we might expect. They discuss how everyday sins like haughtiness, false witness, and rushing toward evil reveal the deeper condition of the human heart. Yet the conversation ultimately turns to hope, showing how the very sins God condemns are the ones Christ takes upon himself.
