Proverbs 15:10 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Correction is grievous; he hateth reproof, because it is a reproach to him, and because it strikes at that sin which he loveth. The way; God's way, emphatically called the way here, as also Psalms 119:1, Psalms 139:24 Proverbs 2:13. Shall die, i.e. be destroyed, both here and, for ever; which is a more grievous thing than a harsh reproof.

Proverbs 15:10

10 Correctionb is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die.
