Proverbs 15:10

¶ Correction [is] grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: [and] he that hateth reproof shall die.

Correction {H4148} is grievous {H7451} unto him that forsaketh {H5800} the way {H734}: and he that hateth {H8130} reproof {H8433} shall die {H4191}.

Discipline is severe for one who leaves the way, and whoever can't stand correction will die.

Discipline is harsh for him who leaves the path; he who hates correction will die.

There is grievous correction for him that forsaketh the way; And he that hateth reproof shall die.
