Proverbs 3:25-26

Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.

Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked (i:e., of the desolation which the wicked plot against thee), when it cometh. For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken - namely, in the snares of Satan, the flesh, the world, and thy oppressors (). "Be not afraid" is at once a precept and a promise to the godly. They shall have no cause to fear evil tidings; therefore it is their privilege that they are not to fear them (; ).
