Gill's Notes on the Bible
The foolishness of man perverteth his way,.... The sinfulness of his heart and nature; the folly which is bound up in it causes him to go astray out of the way in which he should go, or makes things go cross with him; so that the ways he takes do not prosper, nor his schemes succeed; but everything goes against him, and he is brought into straits and difficulties;
and his heart fretteth against the Lord; laying all the blame on him; and ascribing his ill success, not to his own sin and folly, but to divine Providence, which works against him; and therefore frets and murmurs at him; and, instead of charging his own ways with folly, charges the ways of God with inequality; see Ezekiel 18:25.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The non-wisdom which, having brought about disasters by its own perverseness, then turns round and âfretteth,â i. e., angrily complains against the Providence of God.
Perverteth - Rather, âoverturneth,â âmaketh to fail.â
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Proverbs 19:3. The foolishness of man — Most men complain of cross providences, because they get into straits and difficulties through the perverseness of their ways; and thus they fret against God; whereas, in every instance, they are the causes of their own calamities. O how inconsistent is man!
