This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Pro_3:26 For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.
Ver. 26. For the Lord shall be thy confidence.] The Hebrew word here used signifies both unconstant folly, {Ecc_7:28} and constant hope. {Psa_77:7} And Rabbi Solomon saith, that he had found in the Jerusalem Targum this text, thus censured and expounded, The Lord shall be with thee in thy folly; that is, he shall turn to thy good, even thine inconsiderate and rash enterprizes, if thou addict thyself to the study of wisdom.
And shall keep thy foot from being taken.] In the snare which thou wast near unto, by choosing rather to be held temerarious than timorous.
