Charles Ellicott Commentary Proverbs 5:23

"He shall die for lack of instruction; And in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray." — Proverbs 5:23 (ASV)

He shall die without instruction.— Rather, for lack of discipline, because he would not control himself, he shall die, and for the greatness of his folly (self-will) he shall go astray, and wander where there is no way (Job 12:24).
