This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Pro_4:12 When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.
Ver. 12. And when thou runnest.] Having a good mixture of zeal and knowledge; so that thy zeal doth quicken thy knowledge, and thy knowledge guide thy zeal. For that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; "And he that (so) hasteth with his feet (being indiscreetly zealous) sinneth." {Pro_19:2}
Thou shalt not stumble.] Or if thou do, thou shalt recover thy stumbling, and so get ground. But say thou do so stumble as to fall; in falling forwards is nothing so much danger as backward. So he that is earnest in good, though he may carry some things indiscreetly, yet is far better than an apostate.
