What does God really hates?

Who does God abhor? An average guy who smokes, drink and scold vulgarity but is actually fillial to his parents and have compassion for the poor? Or a high flyer worker in a corporation who back stabs his colleagues, lick his bosses boots and lives for money?
The bible teaches that "all have fallen short the glory of God" (Rom 3). All men has fallen to a state that none of us can qualify for eternal life, hence all men regardless will not stand his fiery judgement unless he is Justified by Grace through Faith in Jesus Christ.
But he has certainly listed some which he absolutely hates. Professing the blood of Jesus does not mean anything when one does not have the heart to follow him.
A worthless person, a wicked man, Walks with a perverse mouth; He winks with his eyes, He shuffles his feet, He points with his fingers; Perversity is in his heart, He devises evil continually, He sows discord. Therefore his calamity shall come suddenly; Suddenly he shall be broken without remedy. These six things the Lord hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil, A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren.
Proverbs 6:12‭-‬19 NKJV
‘For among My people are found wicked men; They lie in wait as one who sets snares; They set a trap; They catch men. As a cage is full of birds, So their houses are full of deceit. Therefore they have become great and grown rich. They have grown fat, they are sleek; Yes, they surpass the deeds of the wicked; They do not plead the cause, The cause of the fatherless; Yet they prosper, And the right of the needy they do not defend. Shall I not punish them for these things? ’ says the Lord . ‘Shall I not avenge Myself on such a nation as this?’ “An astonishing and horrible thing Has been committed in the land: The prophets prophesy falsely, And the priests rule by their own power; And My people love to have it so. But what will you do in the end?
Jeremiah 5:26‭-‬31 NKJV
[Jesus continually warned against those who calls him Lord (Believers) but whose heart is not with him.]
“Then they also will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
Matthew 25:44‭-‬46 NKJV
So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come forth, separate the wicked from among the just, and cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.”
Matthew 13:49‭-‬50 NKJV
Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.
Revelation 22:14‭-‬15 NKJV
[Serving in church, raising your hands in worship, feeling the presence of God, immersing yourself in his Love, does not mean anything when your Faith does not result in good works (James 2) ]
