Commentary on Proverbs 12:15
The Hebrew word 'yashar' (right, straight) describes the fool's self-perception—his way seems straight in his own eyes, revealing the deceptive nature of pride and self-sufficiency. True wisdom recognizes human limitations and actively seeks counsel from others, particularly those who fear God. This proverb addresses the root of folly: the refusal to admit ignorance or accept correction.
