Proverbs 15:21 - Exposition

Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom; literally, void of heart ; i.e. of understanding ( Proverbs 10:23 ). The perverse, self-willed fool finds pleasure in going on his evil way, and exposing the fatuity which he takes for wisdom. Septuagint, "The ways of the senseless are wanting in intelligence." A man of understanding walketh uprightly; goes the right way. It is implied that the fool goes the wrong way.
