Proverbs 1:32
For the waywardness of the simple will slay them,
What it says
The waywardness of the simple will kill them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them.
What it is doing
This verse shows folly as self-ruinous even without external enemies.
In context
20Wisdom calls out in the street, 21in the main concourse she cries aloud, 22“How long, O simple ones, will you love your simple ways? 23If you had repented at my rebuke, 24Because you refused my call, 25because you neglected all my counsel, 26in turn I will mock your calamity; 27when your dread comes like a storm, 28Then they will call on me, but I will not answer; 29For they hated knowledge 30They accepted none of my counsel; 31So they will eat the fruit of their own way, 32For the waywardness of the simple will slay them, 33But whoever listens to me will dwell in safety,
