John Trapp Complete Commentary - Proverbs 29:25

Pro 29:25 The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe. Ver. 25. The fear of man bringeth a snare. ] This cowardly passion expectorates and exposes a man to many, both sins and sufferings. And albeit faith, when it is in the heart, quelleth and killeth distrustful fear, and is therefore fitly opposed to it in this sacred sentence: yet in the very best sense fights sore against faith when it is upon its own dunghill.

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 29:25

25. Fear… snare Fear often makes men do that which is wrong, and thus brings them into difficulty or “a snare;” but confidence in Jehovah, his power, his protection, raises them above such fear.

There are many examples of this on record. Comp. Psalms 91:14; Psalms 107:41; Proverbs 18:10; 2 Samuel 14:15. read more
