Proverbs 14:2 ” He whose walk is upright fears the Lord, but he whose ways are devious despises Him.”
It’s simple…dishonest people don’t like God. Deceitful people abhor and hate Him. Why so?

Most people know they’re sinning…they just don’t want God pointing it out to them.
Proverbs 15:28 ” The heart of the righteous weighs its answers, but the mouth of the wicked gushes evil.”
