Bible verses about haters
As Christians we are to always be humble and never brag about anything, but there are some people without you even bragging who might be jealous of your achievements.
Hating and bitterness is a sin and can be brought on by getting a new job or promotion, buying a new house, buying a new car, relationships, and even something like giving to charity can bring haters.
There are four types of haters. There are the ones who criticize you and find a fault for everything you do out of jealousy. The ones who try to make you look bad in front of others.
The ones who purposely bring you down so you won’t succeed instead of helping you and there are the haters who hate behind your back and destroy your good name with slander. Most of the time haters are the closest people to you. Let’s learn more.
Reasons people hate.
- You have something that they don’t.
- They need to put you down to feel good about themselves.
- They want to be the center of attention.
- They are bitter about something.
- They lose sight of contentment.
- They stop counting their blessings and start counting the blessings of others.
Quote
- “Haters will see you walk on water and say it’s because you can’t swim.”

As they celebrated, the women sang: Saul has killed his thousands, but David his tens of thousands. Saul was furious and resented this song. “They credited tens of thousands to David,” he complained, “but they only credited me with thousands. What more can he have but the kingdom?” So Saul watched David jealously from that day forward.
