Proverbs 29:25
_ _ The fear ... snare — involves men in difficulty (compare Proverbs 29:6).
_ _ shall be safe — (Compare Margin; Proverbs 18:10). |
Proverbs 29:25
_ _ Here, 1. We are cautioned not to dread the power of man, neither the power of a prince nor the power of the multitude; both are formidable enough, but the slavish fear of either brings a snare, that is, exposes men to many insults (some take a pride in terrifying the timorous), or rather exposes men to many temptations. Abraham, for fear of man, denied his wife, and Peter his Master, and many a one his God and religion. We must not shrink from duty, nor commit sin, to avoid the wrath of man, nor, though we see it coming upon us, be disquieted with fear, Daniel 3:16; Psalms 118:6. He must himself die (Isaiah 51:12) and can but kill our body, Luke 12:5. 2. We are encouraged to depend upon the power of God, which would keep us from all that fear of man which has either torment or temptation in it. Whoso puts his trust in the Lord, for protection and supply in the way of duty, shall be set on high, above the power of man and above the fear of that power. A holy confidence in God makes a man both great and easy, and enables him to look with a gracious contempt upon the most formidable designs of hell and earth against him. If God be my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid. |
Proverbs 29:25
A snare — Is an occasion of many sins. |
Proverbs 29:25
The fear of man bringeth a (f) snare: but he who putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.
(f) He who fears man more than God falls into a snare and is destroyed. |
