Proverbs14:27
Pro 14:27 27 The fear of Jahve is a fountain of life, To escape the snares of death.
There springs up a life which makes him who carries in himself (cf. Joh 4:14, ἐν αὐτῷ) this welling life, penetrating and strong of will to escape the snares (write after the Masora ממּקשׁי defective) which death lays, and which bring to an end in death - a repetition of Pro 13:4 with changed subject.
