Matthew Poole and continuators on Proverbs 15:10

10 Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way , and he that hateth reproof shall die .

He hateth Reproof, because it is a reproach to him, and because it strikes at that sin which he loveth.

Gods way, emphatically called the way here, as also Psal. 119. 1. & 139. 24. Prov. 2. 13.

i. e. Be destroyed, both here and for ever: which is a more grievous thing than an harsh reproof.
