Context of Proverbs 15:10
8The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord, But the prayer of the upright is His delight. 9The way of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord, But He loves one who pursues righteousness. Grievous punishment is for him who forsakes the way; He who hates reproof will die. 11Sheol and Abaddon lie open before the Lord, How much more the hearts of men! 12A scoffer does not love one who reproves him, He will not go to the wise.
