John Trapp on Proverbs 16:7

Verſ. 7. When a mans waies pleaſe the Lord] Sin is the onely make-bate that ſets God and man at difference. Now when God is diſpleaſed, all his creatures are up in arms to fetch in his rebels, and to do execution. Who then would ſet the briars and thorns againſt him in battel? would hee not go thorow them? would hee not burn them together? Let him then take hold of my ſtrength, ſaith God, that hee may make peace with mee, and hee ſhall make peace with mee, Iſa. 27.4, 5. And not with God onely, but with the Creature too that gladly takes his part, and is at his beck and check. Laban followed Jacob with one troop; Eſau met him with another: both with hoſtile intentions. But God ſo wrought for Jacob whom hee had choſen, that Laban leaves him with a kiſſe, Eſau meets him with a kiſſe. Of the one hee hath an Oath, Tears of the other, Peace with both. Who ſhall need to fear men, that is in league with God?
