Commentary on Proverbs 29:25
The 'fear of man' (Hebrew 'cheredat'—anxiety, dread) becomes a snare that traps and controls, while trust in the Lord provides true safety (Hebrew 'sagab'—set on high, protected). This proverb diagnoses a root cause of compromise and unfaithfulness: caring more about human opinion than God's approval. The contrast teaches that whoever we fear will control us—either enslaved to man's approval or safe in God's keeping.
