About the book of Proverbs
Proverbs 1:31: therefore they shall eat the fruit of their way...
Proverbs refers to the way of wisdom and the way of foolishness as sharing this reality: each works according to its nature. A person’s actions both manifest the state of the heart and also ***shape it further in the way*** a person will walk. The direction of each path indicates the end to which it is headed. Those who refuse to listen to Wisdom’s reproof walk in a way that will ultimately produce for their own consumption the very fruit they offered to others: the fruit of calamity, terror, and destruction. For a similar description of the paths and their ends, see Jer. 6:16–19.

a person's actions are reflected in the state of the heart, and they also shape the heart in the way it (the heart) influences a person's behavior
