Proverbs 3:23 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 3:23

Then shall thou walk in thy way safely
In the way of thy duty and business, without fear of any enemy; having in sight the Captain of salvation gone before, and walking in such ways of pleasantness and peace as Wisdom's are; and having such a lamp to the feet, and such a light unto the paths, as the Gospel and its doctrines be; and thy foot shall not stumble;
at the word and the truths of it, as some men do, being thereunto appointed; and at Christ, the stumbling stone laid in Zion, particularly at his justifying righteousness; see ( 1 Peter 2:8 ) ( Romans 9:33 ) .

Proverbs 3:23 In-Context

21 son, let not pass from , but keep my counsel and understanding:

22 that thy soul may live, and that there may be grace round thy neck; and it shall be health to thy flesh, and safety to thy bones:

23 that thou mayest go confidently in peace in all thy ways, and that thy foot may not stumble.

24 For if thou rest, thou shalt be undismayed; and if thou sleep, thou shalt slumber sweetly.

25 And thou shalt not be afraid of alarm coming upon thee, neither of approaching attacks of ungodly men.
