Matthew Poole and continuators on Proverbs 14:12

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

There are some evil actions or courses which men may think to be lawful and good, either through gross and affected ignorance; or through partiality or self-flattery; or through want of necessary diligence in examining them by the rule of God's will or word; all which are culpable causes of the mistake and therefore do not excuse the error.

The event sheweth that they were sinful and destructive.
