Proverbs 15:10-12

New International Reader's Version

¹⁰Hard training is in store for anyone who leaves the right path.
A person who hates to be corrected will die.

¹¹Death and the Grave lie open in front of the Lord.
So human hearts certainly lie open to him!

¹²People who make fun of others don’t like to be corrected.
So they stay away from wise people.

the one who hates correction will die.^(A)

¹¹Death and Destruction^[a] lie open before the Lord^(B)—
how much more do human hearts!^(C)

¹²Mockers resent correction,^(D)
so they avoid the wise.
