Proverbs 3:24 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 3:24

22 So they will be life to your soul
And grace to your neck.

23 ^aThen you will walk safely in your way,
And your foot will not stumble.

24 When you lie down, you will not be afraid;
Yes, you will lie down and your sleep will be sweet.

25 ^aDo not be afraid of sudden terror,
Nor of trouble from the wicked when it comes;

26 For the Lord will be your confidence,
And will keep your foot from being caught.

27 ^aDo not withhold good from¹ those to whom it is due,
When it is in the power of your hand to do so.

28 ^aDo not say to your neighbor,
“Go, and come back,
And tomorrow I will give it,”
When you have it with you.
