Proverbs 5:23

New International Version

For lack of discipline they will die, led astray by their own great folly.

See the chapter Copy

But if they do not listen, they will perish by the sword and die without knowledge.

Are not the cords of their tent pulled up, so that they die without wisdom?’

So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices.

He will repay them for their sins and destroy them for their wickedness; the Lord our God will destroy them.

they will eat the fruit of their ways and be filled with the fruit of their schemes.

The lips of the righteous nourish many, but fools die for lack of sense.

A person is praised according to their prudence, and one with a warped mind is despised.

The faithless will be fully repaid for their ways, and the good rewarded for theirs.

When calamity comes, the wicked are brought down, but even in death the righteous seek refuge in God.

Whoever strays from the path of prudence comes to rest in the company of the dead.
