Context of Proverbs 15:10
8When wicked people offer sacrifices to the Lord, he hates it. But he is pleased when good people pray to him. 9The Lord hates the way that wicked people live. But he loves people who want to do what is right. If you leave God's way, you will receive strong punishment. When people warn you, accept it or you will die. 11The Lord sees clearly into the deep hole of death. So you can be sure that he knows people's secret thoughts. 12Proud people do not like it when someone warns them. They will not ask wise people to give them advice.
