10 Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die. This shows that those who cannot bear to be corrected must expect to be destroyed. 1. It is common for those who have known the way of righteousness, but have forsaken it, to reckon it a great affront to be reproved and admonished. They are very uneasy at reproof; they cannot, they will not, bear it; nay, because they hate to be reformed, they hate to be reproved, and hate those who deal faithfully and kindly with them. Of all sinners, reproofs are worst resented by apostates. 2. It is certain that those who will not be reproved will be ruined: He that hates reproof, and hardens his heart against it, is joined to his idols; let him alone. He shall die, and perish for ever, in his sins, since he would not be parted from his sins. 2 Chronicles 25:15 , I know that God has determined to destroy thee, because thou couldst not bear to be reproved; see also Proverbs 29:1 ; Proverbs 29:1 . return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-11" class="com-number"
