Proverbs 5:23

Young's Literal Translation 1862

He dieth without instruction, And in the abundance of his folly magnifieth himself!

See the chapter Copy

And if they do not hearken, By the dart they pass away, And expire without knowledge.

Hath not their excellency been removed with them? They die, and not in wisdom!

And I send them away in the enmity of their heart, They walk in their own counsels.

And turneth back on them their iniquity, And in their wickedness cutteth them off; Jehovah our God doth cut them off!

And they eat of the fruit of their way, And from their own counsels they are filled.

The lips of the righteous delight many, And fools for lack of heart die.

According to his wisdom is a man praised, And the perverted of heart becometh despised.

From his ways is the backslider in heart filled, And a good man -- from his fruits.

In his wickedness is the wicked driven away, And trustful in his death `is' the righteous.

A man who is wandering from the way of understanding, In an assembly of Rephaim resteth.
