Commentary on Proverbs 1:31
The harvest of rejection: 'Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.' The agricultural metaphor shows that choices produce corresponding consequences. 'Eat... fruit' pictures consuming the results of one's actions. 'Filled' suggests inescapable saturation in consequences. 'Their own' emphasizes self-inflicted nature of judgment. This reflects Galatians 6:7—what one sows, one reaps. God's justice gives people the full measure of their chosen path. Autonomous wisdom, pursued, brings its inevitable bitter fruit.
