“The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the LORD.”
Proverbs 19:3 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 19:3
The foolishness of man perverts his way, and his heart frets against the LORD. Human folly distorts one's path, yet instead of acknowledging fault, the fool blames God. The verb 'perverts' (saleph - overturns, ruins) indicates self-destruction through foolishness. Rather than repenting, the foolish heart 'frets' (za'aph - rages, is vexed) against YHWH. This exposes sin's irrationality - humans ruin themselves then blame God, epitomizing the folly Proverbs condemns.
