In the mind of a man or a woman, it may seem right to do. But if its not God way it can lead to death. That's why we have to put him first, seek his face study his word praise and worship him. Beacuse without doing this our way will send us to hell. What would we do without the Father the Son and the Holy spirit the triune God.

This verse is based on Christians decision making, there are decisions a man does he she may think it is good but at the end he she will find hm self in danger.

Only through Jesus can you have eternal life. There are many who reject Jesus as the way, believing in their own human wisdom that their way is also a valid way to please God and possess eternal life Cain 's Religion , but all of these many broad roads will lead to hell the 2nd death

For me it means that there's some deeds we do with the thought that it's good but it end up contrasting with the word of God

This passage is just trying to let us understand that the thought of God is not our thought

What the Bible seems to be saying is that man apart from God cannot devise any plan which brings ultimate success. Man's plans apart from God always fail which leads to the death of someone or something. Simply, man is inadequate
on his own. Jesus said it clearly " apart from me you can do nothing".

I'm not sure the bible explains what that way is however it does tell us who they are. Matt. 7:22 gives us a description of there people. They believe beyond a doubt they have done what the Lord wanted but the works they do are not by faith they are by sight. The bible say's faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. Heb. 11:1 So you see without faith it is impossible to please God
