Proverbs 21:16
Excerpted from: Examples of Divine Justice

I want to draw your attention to the word "wanders." I believe with all my heart that most of us do not intend to go astray. We wander into unrighteousness. We wander into sin. But you see the results of whether we deliberately do it, or wander into it, are the same. That is what the verse says. A man who wanders will rest in the congregation of the dead. The assumption in the verse is that the person never gets back on the track. And so while he is wandering, even though he does not deliberately plan to go into that direction, if he does not consciously turn away from it and get back onto the path—back on the track—then it is very likely that he is going to end up in the grave, just as it says.

Proverbs 21:16
Excerpted from: Free Will or God's Sovereignty?

But we can get an idea of what could lead to this falling away back in chapter 2. It speaks of drifting spiritually and of neglecting this great salvation. Similarly, Proverbs 21:16 says, “A man who wanders from the way of understanding will rest in the assembly of the dead.” Neglect and wandering are choices that, in time, lead to this ending.
