Proverbs 15:8-10
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord,(A)
but the prayer of the upright is his delight.
9 The way of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord,
but he loves one who pursues justice.(B)
10 Discipline seems bad to those going astray;
one who hates reproof will die.[a]
