Proverbs 5:14 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

I was almost in all evil... — Rather, I had almost fallen into every sin: I was so infatuated that I might have committed any sin, and that openly before all. Or, I might have been visited with extremest punishment at the hands of the congregation, death by stoning (Leviticus 20:10; John 8:5). The offender’s eyes are now opened, and he shudders at the thought of the still greater troubles into which he might, in his infatuation, have fallen.

Proverbs 5:14

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