"In the fear of Jehovah is strong confidence; And his children shall have a place of refuge." — Proverbs 14:26 (ASV)
His children.— Either, the children of the man who fears the Lord, as the blessing of Abraham (Genesis 17:7–8) and David (Jeremiah 33:20–21) descended to their children; or the pronoun may refer to God’s children, i.e., those who look up to Him as a father, an expression which occurs in the Old Testament (e.g., Psalms 73:15), but is brought forward more prominently in the New Testament.
