PROVERBS 8:13
The fear of the LORD is hatred of evil.
This establishes the fact of the matter. The fear of the LORD is hatred of evil. They are six of one and a half dozen of the other. If you fear the Lord you will hate evil. If you do not hate evil, you do not fear the Lord.
PSALM 97:10
O you who love the LORD, hate evil!
While the verse from Proverbs established the fact of the matter, this admonition from the Psalms emphasizes the application. You say you love the Lord? Prove it. Hate evil, beginning, of course, with your own.
