Commentary for Proverbs 14:12

יֵ֤שׁ דֶּ֣רֶךְ יָ֭שָׁר לִפְנֵי־אִ֑ישׁ וְ֝אַחֲרִיתָ֗הּ דַּרְכֵי־מָֽוֶת׃

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

Rashi on Proverbs

There is a way that seems right to a man He commits a transgression and says, “There is no transgression in it.” Another explanation: There is a way that seems right to a man The way of laziness seemed right to Esau, who was a man of the field, “but its end etc.“
