hazz?n, G. hassen, Icel. & Sw. hata, Dan. hade, Goth. hatan,

   one's enemies; to hate hypocrisy.
         Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer. --1 John

Syn: To {Hate}, {Abhor}, {Detest}, {Abominate}, {Loathe}.
Usage: Hate is the generic word, and implies that one is
       inflamed with extreme dislike. We abhor what is deeply
       repugnant to our sensibilities or feelings. We detest
       what contradicts so utterly our principles and moral
       sentiments that we feel bound to lift up our voice
       against it. What we abominate does equal violence to
       our moral and religious sentiments. What we loathe is
       offensive to our own nature, and excites unmingled
       disgust. Our Savior is said to have hated the deeds of
       the Nicolaitanes; his language shows that he loathed
       the lukewarmness of the Laodiceans; he detested the
       hypocrisy of the scribes and Pharisees; he abhorred
       the suggestions of the tempter in the wilderness.
