Hatred is the opposite of love. It is an emotion of intense dislike. It is evil feelings towards others. The Bible says that hatred stirs up strife:
Hatred stirreth up strife; but love covereth all sins.
(Proverbs 10:12)
It is better to be where love is than with those who are filled with hatred:
Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
(Proverbs 15:17)
Hatred covered by deceit will be revealed by God:
Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation.
(Proverbs 26:26)
Deceit here means pretending to like someone when in reality you hate them.
