Context of Proverbs 15:10
8The sacrifice of the wicked is detestable to the Lord, but the prayer of the upright is his delight. 9The Lord detests the way of the wicked, but he loves the one who pursues righteousness. Discipline is harsh for the one who leaves the path; the one who hates correction will die. 11Sheol and Abaddon lie open before the Lord — how much more, human hearts. 12A mocker doesn’t love one who corrects him; he will not consult the wise.
