Proverbs 5:23 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Without instruction; because he neglected instruction. Or, without correction or amendment. He shall die in his sins, and not repent of them, as he designed and hoped to do before his death. In the greatness of his folly; through his stupendous folly, whereby he cheated himself with hopes of repentance or impunity, and exposed himself to endless torments for the momentary pleasures of sinful lusts. Go astray from God, and from the way of life, and from eternal salvation.

Proverbs 5:23

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