SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:27
El temor del SEÑOR es manantial de vida, para ser apartado de los lazos de la muerte.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 14:27
Verse 27. The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life ] µyyj rwqm mekor chaiyim, the vein of lives. Another allusion to the great aorta which carries the blood from the heart to all the extremities of the body. Of this phrase, and the tree of lives, Solomon is particularly fond. See on chap. iv. 23; x. 12.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 27. The fear of the Lord [is] a fountain of life , etc.] Where the true fear of God is, there is a real principle of grace, which is “a well of living water, springing up unto everlasting life”, ( John 4:14); eternal life is connected with it; it makes meet for it, and issues in it: or the Lord, who is the object of fear, he is the fountain of life: as of natural, so of spiritual and eternal life; spiritual life springs from him, is supported and maintained by him, the consequence of which is life everlasting; to depart from the snares of death ; sins, transgressions, as Aben Ezra interprets it; these are the works of men’s hands, in which they are snared; these are the cords in which they are holden, and so die without instruction; the wages of them are death, even death eternal: likewise there are the snares of the world and of the devil, temptations to sin, with which being ensnared, lead to death; now the fear of the Lord is a means of delivering from and of avoiding those snares, and so of escaping death.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 26, 27 - Those who fear the Lord so as to obey and serve him, have a stron ground of confidence, and will be preserved. Let us seek to thi Fountain of life, that we may escape the snares of death.
