Mark Webster The world says Follow your heart.. The Bible says He who leans on, trusts in, and is confident of his own mind and heart is a [self-confident] fool, [Proverb 28:26] but he who walks in skillful and Godly Wisdom shall be delivered. [Amplified 1954-1965] [cross-reference James 1:5] commentator John Gill (1690-1771), Exposition of the Entire Bible: he must be a fool, and not know the plague of his heart, that trusts in it; and even for a good man to be self-confident, and trust to the sincerity of his heart, as Peter did, or to the good frame of the heart, as many do, is acting a foolish part; and especially such are fools as the Scribes and Pharisees, who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others, when a mans best righteousness is impure and imperfect, and cannot justify him in the sight of God; it is moreover a weak and foolish part in men to trust to the wisdom and counsel of their heart, to lean to their own understanding, even it, things natural and civil, and not to ask wisdom of God, or take the advice of men, and especially it, things religious and sacred; see Pro_3:5
