Proverbs 3:26

Bible in Basic English 1965

For the Lord will be your hope, and will keep your foot from being taken in the net.

See the chapter Copy

Is not your fear of God your support, and your upright way of life your hope?

May he not let your foot be moved: no need of sleep has he who keeps you.

He will take you out of the bird-net, and keep you safe from wasting disease.

For him in whose heart is the fear of the Lord there is strong hope: and his children will have a safe place.

He will keep the feet of his holy ones, but the evil-doers will come to their end in the dark night, for by strength no man will overcome.
