Proverbs 29:25 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

The fear of man Inordinate fear of harm or suffering from men, which is properly opposed to trust in God, because it arises from a distrust of God's promises and providence; bringeth a snare Is an occasion of many sins, and consequently of punishments from God: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord Walks in God's ways, and securely relies upon him, to protect him from the designs and malice of wicked men; shall be safe Shall be preserved from all real evil, through God's watchful providence over him.
