There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

Verse 25 is found in chapter 16 of Proverbs. The path that seems right can end in death, so personal perception requires wisdom’s correction. The worker, the perverse person, the gossip, and the violent person appear as examples of how everyday conduct can produce destruction. The chapter ends by affirming that the lot may be cast, but its outcome is under the Lord’s control, reinforcing divine sovereignty over apparently random events.

Manchem gefällt ein Weg wohl; aber zuletzt bringt er ihn zum Tode.
Hay camino que parece derecho al hombre, Mas su salida son caminos de muerte.
Telle voie paraît droite à un homme, Mais son issue, c'est la voie de la mort.
Vi è tal via che pare diritta all’uomo, Il fine della quale son le vie della morte
Há um caminho que parece direito ao homem, mas o seu fim são os caminhos da morte.
有一條路,人以為正, 至終卻成為死亡之路。
