Proverbs 5:11 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 5:11
At life's end, you'll mourn when your flesh and body are consumed. The Hebrew 'naham' (groan/lament) describes anguished regret. The consumption of flesh/body likely indicates disease (STDs were known in ancient world) or simply aging's regrets. What seemed pleasurable in youth produces groaning in old age. Deathbed regrets can't undo life's foolish choices. This verse warns: consider end from beginning; don't live for present pleasure if it produces future anguish.
