And Jehu the prophet, the son of Hanani went out to meet him, and said to him, King Jehoshaphat, do you help a sinner, or act friendly towards one hated of the Lord? Therefore has wrath come upon you from the Lord.

I have hated the assembly of evildoers; and will not sit with the ungodly.

I have not set before my eyes any unlawful thing; I have hated transgressors.

Have I not hated them, O Lord, that hate You? And [have I not] wasted away because of Your enemies?

I have hated them with perfect hatred; they were counted as my enemies.
