Proverbs 5:23

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

The lips of the righteous feed many, but the foolish die for lack of understanding.

The wicked is brought down in his calamity, but in death, the righteous has a refuge.

Isn't their tent cord plucked up within them? They die, and that without wisdom.'

But if they don't listen, they shall perish by the sword; they shall die without knowledge.

The unfaithful will be repaid for his own ways; likewise a good man will be rewarded for his ways.

So I let them go after the stubbornness of their hearts, that they might walk in their own counsels.

forsaking the right way, they went astray, having followed the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of wrongdoing;

but these lay wait for their own blood. They lurk secretly for their own lives.
