The Way Seems Right, But is Wrong
Proverbs 14:12
There is a way which seems right to a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.


A sailor remarks, "Sailing from Cuba, we thought we had gained sixty miles one day in our course, but at the next observation we found we had lost more than thirty. It was an under-current. The ship had been going forward by the wind, but going back by current." So a man's course may often seem to be right, but the stream beneath is driving him the very contrary way to what he thinks.
