John 3:20

πᾶς γὰρ ὁ φαῦλα πράσσων μισεῖ τὸ φῶς καὶ οὐκ ἔρχεται πρὸς τὸ φῶς ἵνα μὴ ἐλεγχθῇ τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ·
For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

Ephesians 5:11

καὶ μὴ συγκοινωνεῖτε τοῖς ἔργοις τοῖς ἀκάρποις τοῦ σκότους μᾶλλον δὲ καὶ ἐλέγχετε
11
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

John 7:7

οὐ δύναται ὁ κόσμος μισεῖν ὑμᾶς ἐμὲ δὲ μισεῖ ὅτι ἐγὼ μαρτυρῶ περὶ αὐτοῦ ὅτι τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ πονηρά ἐστιν
7
The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.

Job 24:13

הֵמָּה׀ הָיוּ בְּֽמֹרְדֵי-אוֹר לֹֽא-הִכִּירוּ דְרָכָיו וְלֹא יָשְׁבוּ בִּנְתִיבֹתָֽיו׃
13
They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.

Proverbs 1:29

תַּחַת כִּי-שָׂנְאוּ דָעַת וְיִרְאַת יְהוָֹה לֹא בָחָֽרוּ׃
29
For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:

Proverbs 4:18

וְאֹרַח צַדִּיקִים כְּאוֹר נֹגַהּ הוֹלֵךְ וָאוֹר עַד-נְכוֹן הַיּֽוֹם׃
18
But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

James 1:23

ὅτι εἴ τις ἀκροατὴς λόγου ἐστὶν καὶ οὐ ποιητής οὗτος ἔοικεν ἀνδρὶ κατανοοῦντι τὸ πρόσωπον τῆς γενέσεως αὐτοῦ ἐν ἐσόπτρῳ·
23
For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:

1 Kings 22:8

וַיֹּאמֶר מֶֽלֶךְ-יִשְׂרָאֵל׀ אֶֽל-יְהוֹשָׁפָט עוֹד אִישׁ-אֶחָד לִדְרֹשׁ אֶת-יְהוָה מֵֽאֹתוֹ וַֽאֲנִי שְׂנֵאתִיו כִּי לֹֽא-יִתְנַבֵּא עָלַי טוֹב כִּי אִם-רָע מִיכָיְהוּ בֶּן-יִמְלָה וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוֹשָׁפָט אַל-יֹאמַר הַמֶּלֶךְ כֵּֽן׃
8
And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may inquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he doth not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.

Psalms 50:17

וְאַתָּה שָׂנֵאתָ מוּסָר וַתַּשְׁלֵךְ דְּבָרַי אַחֲרֶֽיךָ׃
17
Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee.

Amos 5:10

שָׂנְאוּ בַשַּׁעַר מוֹכִיחַ וְדֹבֵר תָּמִים יְתָעֵֽבוּ׃
10
They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.

Proverbs 15:12

לֹא יֶאֱהַב-לֵץ הוֹכֵחַֽ לוֹ אֶל-חֲכָמִים לֹא יֵלֵֽךְ׃
12
A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise.

Proverbs 5:12

וְֽאָמַרְתָּ אֵיךְ שָׂנֵאתִי מוּסָר וְתוֹכַחַת נָאַץ לִבִּֽי׃
12
And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;

Luke 11:45

Ἀποκριθεὶς δέ τις τῶν νομικῶν λέγει αὐτῷ Διδάσκαλε ταῦτα λέγων καὶ ἡμᾶς ὑβρίζεις
45
Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also.
