Contextual Overview
20 Wisdom cries aloud outside; she gives her voice in the square; 21 she calls at the head of places of commotion; in the opening of the gates, in the city she utters her words: 22 Until when will you love to be simple, you simple ones? And will scorners desire scorn for themselves? And will fools hate knowledge? 23 Turn back at my warning; behold, I will pour out my spirit to you; I will make my words known to you. 24 Because I called, and you refused; I stretch out a hand, and none inclines, 25 but you have ignored all my counsel, and you did not desire my warning. 26 I also will laugh in your calamity, I will mock when your dread comes; 27 when your dread comes like a storm; and your calamity arrives like a tempest, when distress and anguish come on you. 28 Then they shall call on me, and I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me. 29 Instead they hated knowledge and chose not the fear of Jehovah.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way,.... Their evil ways; be punished according to their deserts, and receive the just reward of their iniquities; see Isaiah 3:10;
and be filled with their own devices; or "counsels" g: their device and counsel was to put Christ to death; to deliver him to the Roman governor, that he might be crucified, as he was: and they afterwards had their bellyful of crucifixion, as the word h used signifies; such vast numbers of them were crucified by the Romans before the walls of the city, five hundred a day, and sometimes more; insomuch that room was needed for crosses, and crosses for bodies i.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
This is no arbitrary sentence. The fault was all along their own. The fruit of their own ways is death.
