Proverbs 19:3

Adam Clarke
Bible Commentary

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!

Albert Barnes
Notes on the Whole Bible

The non-wisdom which, having brought about disasters by its own perverseness, then turns round and “fretteth,” i. e., angrily complains against the Providence of God.

Perverteth - Rather, “overturneth,” “maketh to fail.”
