Proverbs 15:9-11

New Century Version

⁹ The Lord hates what evil people do,
    but he loves those who do what is right.

¹⁰ The person who quits doing what is right will be punished,
    and the one who hates to be corrected will die.

¹¹ The Lord knows what is happening in the world of the dead,
    so he surely knows the thoughts of the living.
