Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Proverbs 3:25

_ _ Be not — or, “You shall not be.”

_ _ sudden fear — what causes it (Proverbs 1:27), any unlooked-for evil (Psalms 46:3; Psalms 91:12; 1 Peter 3:14).

_ _ desolation — (Proverbs 1:27).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Proverbs 3:21-26.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Proverbs 3:25

Be not — Thou shalt not be afraid. Sudden — For sudden and unexpected evils are most frightful. And fear is here put for the evils feared. Desolation — Which cometh upon the wicked.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Proverbs 3:25

(l) Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.

(l) For when God destroys the wicked he will save his as he did Lot in Sodom.
