Charles Ellicott Commentary Proverbs 28:14

"Happy is the man that feareth alway; But he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief." — Proverbs 28:14 (ASV)

Happy is the man that feareth alway, for fear that he might fall, and so, distrusting himself, seeks heavenly aid (Philippians 2:12).

He that hardeneth his heart. —(Compare to Exodus 8:15 and following)

Shall fall into mischief.—As he will have lost the guidance and protection of God.
