Context of Proverbs 15:11
9Adonai detests the way of the wicked, but loves those who pursue righteousness. 10Stern correction awaits one who forsakes the way. One who hates reproof will die. Sheol 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. 13A joyful heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit.
