Commentary on Proverbs 14:12
This sobering proverb warns that subjective feelings ('seemeth right') are unreliable guides for life's most important decisions, as the end is death—not merely physical death but spiritual ruin. The repetition of this exact verse in Proverbs 16:25 emphasizes its critical importance. It directly contradicts the modern maxim 'follow your heart,' insisting instead on objective truth and divine wisdom as life's foundation.
