Context of Proverbs 15:10
8The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to Jehovah; But the prayer of the upright is his delight. 9The way of the wicked is an abomination to Jehovah; But he loveth him that followeth after righteousness. There is grievous correction for him that forsaketh the way; And he that hateth reproof shall die. 11Sheol and Abaddon are before Jehovah; How much more then the hearts of the children of men! 12A scoffer loveth not to be reproved; He will not go unto the wise.
