Proverbs 5:14 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

The conscience-stricken sinner had been “almost” given up to every form of evil in the sight of the whole assembly of fellow-townsmen; “almost,” therefore, condemned to the death which that assembly might inflict Leviticus 20:10; Deuteronomy 22:22. The public scandal of the sin is brought in as its last aggravating feature.

Proverbs 5:14

14 I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.
