Context of Proverbs 15:10
8The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to Adonai, but the prayer of the upright pleases him. 9Adonai detests the way of the wicked, but loves those who pursue righteousness. Stern correction awaits one who forsakes the way. One who hates reproof will die. 11Sheol and Abaddon are before Adonai— how much more the hearts of people! 12A mocker dislikes one who corrects him; he will not go to the wise.
