The observation that this is the way of the foolish and that those who approve of them similarly perish establishes the foolishness of the wealth-centered perspective. The reference to this way of the foolish suggests that the behaviors and beliefs critiqued constitute foolishness; spiritual blindness characterizes those who trust in wealth. The mention of those who approve of them suggests that support for the foolish perspective does not make it wise; agreement does not change truth. The statement about their subsequent perishing emphasizes that the foolish and their adherents ultimately face the same fate as all humanity. This verse suggests that endorsement of the fool's perspective does not protect one from fool's fate.
