This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Pro_15:10 Correction [is] grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: [and] he that hateth reproof shall die.
Ver. 10. Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way.] He pleaseth himself in his outstrays, and would not be reduced; he is in love with his own ruin, and takes long strides towards hell, which is now but a little afore him. And if any man seek to save him, "with fear pulling him out of the fire," {Jdg_1:23} he flies in his face. This is as great madness as if they whom our Saviour had healed or raised should have raged and railed at him for so doing.
And he that hateth reproof shall die.] He that is embittered by rebukes, and not bettered by chastisements, shall die, ôåëåõôùóéí áé÷ñùò , say the Septuagint - shall ‘die shamefully’; yea, shall die eternally, as the next verse shows; shall be swallowed up by hell and destruction, which even now gapes for him. They that will not obey that sweet command, "Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden," shall one day have no other voice to obey but that terrible discedite, "Go ye cursed into everlasting flames."
