' Although the Law demanded hebrews to be neighborly to one another and to foreigners dwelling among them, enemies were a different matter. The imprecatory psalms gave scriptural warrant to hate one's enemies: "Lord, don't I hate those who hate You, and detest those who rebel against You? I hate them with extreme hatred; I consider them my enemies" (Ps. 139:21-22; see Matt. 5:43, "You have heard that it was said, Love your neighbor and hate your enemy '
What happened here..... Hate your enemy
