Proverbs 14:26 In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge. Fear is confidence; the words sound strangely. They are strange indeed, but true. To fear God aright is to be delivered from all fear. "His salvation is nigh them that fear Him." To have such a neighbour is strong consolation to a human spirit in this howling wilderness. The fear which brings a sinner submissive and trustful to the sacrifice and righteousness of the Substitute is itself a confidence. The great and terrible God becomes the "dwelling-rock" of the fugitive. (W. Arnot.) Parallel Verses KJV: In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.WEB: In the fear of Yahweh is a secure fortress, and he will be a refuge for his children. |
