Proverbs 15:10-12:
Proverbs has said plenty of times that a huge part of wisdom is having the humility to be corrected. However, these 3 verses reveal a greater truth. We should desire good discipline and God knows all, even the realms not often associated with him. Sheol, Old Testament hell, and Abaddon, destruction, are seen as clearly by God as our hearts. He knows what rebuke we need and scoffers, know-it-alls, do not like that correction. They will not seek out wise counsel because they don't know how little they know compared to the Lord.
10 There is severe discipline for him who forsakes the way; whoever hates reproof will die.
11 Sheol and Abaddon lie open before the Lord; how much more the hearts of the children of man!
12 A scoffer does not like to be reproved; he will not go to the wise.
