Definitions for Proverbs 5:23
Clarke's Proverbs 5:23 Bible Commentary
He shall die without instruction - This is most likely, and it is a general case; but even these may repent and live.
Barnes's Proverbs 5:23 Bible Commentary
The end of the sensual life: to "die without instruction," life ended, but the discipline of life fruitless; to "go astray," as if drunk with the greatness of his folly (the same word is used as for "ravished" in Proverbs 5:19, see marg.), even to the end. This is the close of what might have gone on brightening to the perfect day Proverbs 4:18.
Wesley's Proverbs 5:23 Bible Commentary
5:23 Die - He shall die in his sins. Astray - From the way of life, and from eternal salvation.
