NETBible

The fear of the Lord¹ is like² a life-giving fountain,³ to turn⁴ people⁵ from deadly snares.⁶

NET Notes

¹sn The verse is similar to Prov 13:14 except that “the fear of the Lord” has replaced “the teaching of the wise.”

²tn The comparative “like” does not appear in the Hebrew text, but is implied by the metaphor; it is supplied for the sake of clarity.

³tn Heb “fountain of life.”

⁴tn The infinitive construct with prefixed ל (lamed) indicates the purpose/result of the first line; it could also function epexegetically, explaining how fear is a fountain: “by turning….”

⁵tn The term “people” does not appear in the Hebrew but is supplied in the translation for the sake of smoothness.

⁶tn Heb “snares of death” (so KJV, NAB, NIV, NRSV, NLT); CEV “deadly traps.”
