Proverbs 3:26 meaning and explanation

for the LORD will be your confidence and will keep your foot from the snare.

Proverbs 3:26, Berean Standard Bible

Explanation preview

The speaker is a father instructing his son in wisdom, and in verses 25 and 26 he names the ground for calm: not the absence of danger but the presence of the LORD. The Hebrew word here for confidence carries the sense of a firm, settled trust, and the snare is a hunter's trap, a picture of sudden ruin that catches a person unaware.
