Proverbs 15:9-11

The Message

⁹ A life frittered away disgusts God;
    he loves those who run straight for the finish line.

¹⁰ It’s a school of hard knocks for those who leave God’s path,
    a dead-end street for those who hate God’s rules.

¹¹ Even hell holds no secrets from God—
    do you think he can’t read human hearts?
