Proverbs 5:23 He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray. I. YOU DENY BOLDLY THE EXISTENCE OF GOD. You believe the world fatherless and forsaken; itself eternal, or the product of chance. By your creed you profess to be, or at least to know, the very God whose existence you so madly deny. In the greatness of your folly you arrogate to yourselves the very perfections of Divinity, while a God is denied. II. APPLY THE DESCRIPTION OF THE TEXT TO THE CHARACTER AND HISTORY OF A DEIST. You admit the existence of a Supreme Being, but you deny that the Scripture is His Word. The work of His hands is your only Bible, the dictates of your unenlightened conscience your only law. III. APPLY TO THE CHARACTER AND HISTORY OF THE UNDECIDED. The man who allows the truth of the Bible, but lives and feels as if it were false. Such conduct is full of contradictions. (J. Angus, M.A.) Parallel Verses KJV: He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.WEB: He will die for lack of instruction.
