“For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. turning: or, ease of the simple”
Proverbs 1:32 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 1:32
The turning away (meshuvah - apostasy, backsliding) of the simple slays them, and the prosperity (shalvah - ease, carelessness) of fools destroys them. Success without wisdom proves fatal - prosperity breeds complacency, which breeds destruction. This paradox warns that worldly success can be spiritually lethal, producing false security that prevents seeking God. Reformed theology recognizes prosperity as potential snare; only grace prevents success from producing spiritual ruin.
