He shall lean upon his house He shall trust to the multitude and strength of his children and servants, and to his wealth, all which come under the name of a man's house in Scripture. But it shall not stand That is, not be able to uphold itself, nor him that trusted to it. He shall hold it fast Or, he shall take fast hold of it to strengthen and uphold himself by it. But his web, that refuge of lies, will be swept away, and he crushed in it. Or, by holding it fast, may be meant, that he shall endeavour to support his house by strong alliances, but it will be to no purpose, for it shall not endure.
