Proverbs 5:23

King James Version (Oxford) 1769

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

See the chapter Copy

But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, And they shall die without knowledge.

Doth not their excellency which is in them go away? They die, even without wisdom.

The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: But the righteous hath hope in his death.

The lips of the righteous feed many: But fools die for want of wisdom.

The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: And a good man shall be satisfied from himself.

So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: And they walked in their own counsels.

Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, And be filled with their own devices.

And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; Yea, the LORD our God shall cut them off.

A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: But he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.

The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding Shall remain in the congregation of the dead.
