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 him who follows righteousness. Harsh discipline is for him who forsakes the way, And he who hates correction will die. 11Hell and Destruction are before the Lord; So how much more the hearts of the sons of men. 12A scoffer does not love one who corrects him, Nor will he go to the wise.
