John Gill Commentary Proverbs 1:31

"Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, And be filled with their own devices." — Proverbs 1:31 (ASV)

Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way
Their evil ways; be punished according to their deserts, and receive the just reward of their iniquities; see (Isaiah 3:10Isaiah 3:11) ;

and be filled with their own devices ;
or "counsels" ^F7 : their device and counsel was to put Christ to death; to deliver him to the Roman governor, that he might be crucified, as he was: and they afterwards had their bellyful of crucifixion, as the word ^F8 used signifies; such vast numbers of them were crucified by the Romans before the walls of the city, five hundred a day, and sometimes more; insomuch that room was needed for crosses, and crosses for bodies ^F9 .
