What does Proverbs 3:25 mean?
Be not afraid of sudden fear
Of anything terrible that comes unawares, unthought of, by any of
the above things mentioned in the preceding note; or by any
rumours and reports of danger being near at hand; always think
thyself safe in the arms of Wisdom, and under the care of
Israel's keeper, who neither slumbers nor sleeps; neither
of the desolation of the wicked when it cometh;
either of the desolation which wicked men threaten to bring, and
are suffered to bring, upon the godly for the sake of religion;
either on their persons or goods, since suffering at their hands
in such a cause is to the honour of saints, and for the glory of
God; or of the desolation which comes upon the godly, for God is
able to deliver him from it, as Noah and his family from the
universal deluge, and Lot and his family from Sodom and Gomorrah;
or if they promiscuously fall in it, nevertheless it will be well
with them to all eternity.
