SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:21
¶ La locura es alegría al falto de entendimiento; mas el hombre entendido enderezará su caminar.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 21. Folly [is] joy to [him that is] destitute of wisdom , etc.] Or “that wants a heart” f450 , a wise and understanding one; by “folly” is meant sin, for all sin is folly; and that is very pleasing and joyous to a wicked he chooses it and delights in it; instead of being ashamed of it, and sorry for it, he glories in it, and makes his boast of it; and not only takes pleasure in committing it himself, but also in those that do it; (see Proverbs 10:23); but a man of understanding walketh uprightly ; he who has his understanding enlightened by the Spirit of God; who has an understanding given him by the Son of God; who has a spiritual and experimental understanding of the Gospel, and the truths of it: he walks according to the rule of the divine word; he walks as he has Christ for an example, and by faith on him; and after the spirit, and not after the flesh: or “directs himself in walking” f451 , his goings, as the Vulgate Latin version, according to the above rule, example, and guidance, by the assistance of the spirit and grace of God; otherwise it is not in man that walketh of himself to direct his steps, ( Jeremiah 10:23).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 21 - Such as are truly wise, study that their thoughts, words, and action should be regular, sincere, and holy.
