Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
without instruction--literally, "in want of instruction," having refused it (compare Job 13:18; Heb 11:24).
go astray--literally, "be drunken." The word "ravished" (Pro 5:19) here denotes fulness of punishment. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| 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 Pro 5:19, see marg.), even to the end. This is the close of what might have gone on brightening to the perfect day Pro 4:18. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Die - He shall die in his sins. Astray - From the way of life, and from eternal salvation. |
