THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Proverbs 15:11 in context
Proverbs 15:8–14
8
The sacrifice made by the wicked is an abomination to the LORD,
but the prayer of the upright is his delight.
9
The way of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD,
but he loves him who follows after righteousness.
10
There is stern discipline for one who forsakes the way.
Whoever hates reproof shall die.
12
A scoffer doesn’t love to be reproved;
he will not go to the wise.
13
A glad heart makes a cheerful face,
but an aching heart breaks the spirit.
14
The heart of one who has understanding seeks knowledge,
but the mouths of fools feed on folly.
