Commentary on Proverbs 1:29
The rejected generation hated knowledge and refused to choose fear of YHWH. The language of 'choosing' emphasizes volitional rebellion - they could have chosen rightly but refused. This refutes deterministic fatalism while affirming human moral agency within divine sovereignty. Hating knowledge and rejecting God's fear aren't passive ignorance but active rebellion. Their destruction is just because they deliberately chose folly over wisdom, death over life.
