Proverbs 3:25, 26 (NAS)
Do not be afraid of sudden fear, Nor of the onslaught of the wicked when it comes; For the LORD will be your confidence, And will keep your foot from being caught.

Proverbs 3:25, 26 (NLT)
You need not be afraid of disaster or the destruction that comes upon the wicked, for the LORD is your security. He will keep your foot from being caught in a trap.

Sometimes you are confronted by something unexpected and sudden, which could cause you to fear and dread. When you are surprised by these terrible things, you do not need to tremble. If you should see devastation, ruin, and waste come to the wicked--those that are hostile to Adonai--even then you do not have to be afraid. When condemnation comes to those guilty of sin and crime, you do not need to enter into their terror, for the Lord Jehovah, is your confidence and hope. He is the strength of your loins and saves you from foolishness and folly. He shall keep and guard you. He will protect you, for you are His treasure and He celebrates your life. He is the One who teaches your feet to walk. He will never allow you to be captured; your enemies cannot take hold of or seize you. You know that the Lord God is in charge of your life.
