Proverbs 5:23 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

The end of the sensual life: to “die without instruction,” life ended, but the discipline of life fruitless; to “go astray,” as if drunk with the greatness of his folly (the same word is used as for “ravished” in Proverbs 5:19, see marg.), even to the end. This is the close of what might have gone on brightening to the perfect day Proverbs 4:18.

Proverbs 5:23

23 He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
