There is stern discipline for one who forsakes the way.

Whoever hates reproof shall die.

THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE

Proverbs 15:10 in context

Proverbs 15:7–13

The lips of the wise spread knowledge;

not so with the heart of fools.

The sacrifice made by the wicked is an abomination to the LORD,

but the prayer of the upright is his delight.

The way of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD,

but he loves him who follows after righteousness.

Selected verse

There is stern discipline for one who forsakes the way.

Whoever hates reproof shall die.

Sheol and Abaddon are before the LORD—

how much more then the hearts of the children of men!

A scoffer doesn’t love to be reproved;

he will not go to the wise.

A glad heart makes a cheerful face,

but an aching heart breaks the spirit.
