The next verse warns that zeal without wisdom is dangerous: Also it is not good for a person to be without knowledge, and he who hurries his footsteps errs (v. 2). Proverbs 19:2 describes that desire and movement alone do not make a path wise.
To be without knowledge is not simply to lack facts, but to move through life without true discernment. Proverbs consistently teaches that wisdom is needed to interpret reality rightly. Without it, even sincere effort can become destructive, because action is not guided by truth.
The person who hurries his footsteps shows how folly often works. It rushes ahead without careful listening, reflection, or trust in God. Speed can feel decisive, but if the direction is wrong, haste only carries us more quickly into error.
