Proverbs 19:3 - A man's own folly ruins his life

A man's own folly ruins his life, yet his heart rages against the LORD.

The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the LORD.

The foolishness of man ruins his way, And his heart rages against the LORD.

Proverbs 19:3

Commentary
How many times has a person wandered off in self-destructive folly, only to cry out to Yahweh for help to pull him out of his trouble? Time after time God may reach down in grace to extract a fool from his folly. But there is no guarantee that he will always do so.
