Proverbs 18:1 meaning and explanation
He who isolates himself pursues selfish desires; he rebels against all sound judgment.
Proverbs 18:1, Berean Standard Bible

The Hebrew pictures a person who separates himself from others, and the second line explains what that withdrawal reveals: he is chasing his own desires and breaking out against sound judgment.
