This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Pro_16:25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof [are] the ways of death.
Ver. 25. There is a way that seemeth right to a man.] This we had before, totidem verbis, in Pro_14:12; {See Trapp on "Pro_14:12"} And think not this a vain repetition; but know that it is thus redoubled, that it may be the better remarked and remembered. Nothing is more ordinary or more dangerous than self-delusion. To deceive another is naught, but to deceive thyself - which yet most men do - is much worse; as to belie one’s self, kill one’s self, &c., is counted most abominable. To warn us therefore of this greatest wickedness, it is that this sentence is reiterated.
