Matthew Henry Commentary Proverbs 14:26-28

"In the fear of Jehovah is strong confidence; And his children shall have a place of refuge. The fear of Jehovah is a fountain of life, That one may depart from the snares of death. In the multitude of people is the king`s glory; But in the want of people is the destruction of the prince." — Proverbs 14:26-28 (ASV)

Those who fear the Lord so as to obey and serve him have a strong ground of confidence and will be preserved. Let us seek this Fountain of life that we may escape the snares of death.
