Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.

Study Note
Wisdom's taunt to those who rejected her — 'therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices' — articulates the moral order as a form of poetic justice. The agricultural metaphor of fruit-eating implies that the consequences of rejecting wisdom are not external punishments imposed from outside but the natural harvest of one's own choices. This internal logic of retribution (Paul's 'whatever a man sows, he will reap,' Galatians 6:7-8) is consistent with Proverbs' approach to wisdom as the natural structure of a well-ordered universe. Romans 1:24-28's repeated 'God gave them over' to the consequences of their own desires works with the same theological grammar of consequential judgment.
