When a man loathes himself

"You shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that you have committed." Ezekiel 20:43

When a man loathes himself, it is not merely that he hates himself. But that he looks upon himself as a vile, detestable wretch. Some loathe toads—some loathe spiders—some loathe filth.

Loathing, then, not merely implies hating a thing—but hating it as a thing that we cannot bear to look upon!
