Proverbs 15:9

Proverbs Of Solomon

⁸ The sacrifice of the wicked is detestable to the Lord,
but the prayer of the upright is His delight. ⁹ The Lord detests the way of the wicked,
but He loves the one who pursues righteousness. ¹⁰ Discipline is harsh for the one who leaves the path;
the one who hates correction will die.
