Proverbs 1:32
Verse 32 of 33. The 1st of 31 chapters in Proverbs, in Poetry and Wisdom.
28Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
29For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord:
30They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
31Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
32For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
33But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
Proverbs 1:32 in the World English Bible
For the backsliding of the simple will kill them. The careless ease of fools will destroy them.Read Proverbs 1:32 in the WEB
Matthew Henry on Proverbs 1:32
God chooses their delusions, Isa. lxvi. 4. [5.] Now they value themselves upon their worldly prosperity; but then that shall help to aggravate their ruin, v. 32. First, They are now proud that they can turn away from God and get clear of the restraints of religion; but that very thing shall slay them, the remembrance of it shall cut them to the heart.
