Proverbs 15:12
World English Bible (WEB)
A scoffer doesn’t love to be reproved; he will not go to the wise.
In context
10 There is stern discipline for one who forsakes the way. Whoever hates reproof shall die.
11 Sheol and Abaddon are before the LORD— how much more then the hearts of the children of men!
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.
