Commentary for Proverbs 29:25
חֶרְדַּ֣ת אָ֭דָם יִתֵּ֣ן מוֹקֵ֑שׁ וּבוֹטֵ֖חַ בַּיהוָ֣ה יְשֻׂגָּֽב׃
The fear of man bringeth a snare; but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be set up on high.
Rashi on Proverbs
A snare brings terror to a person It is transposed. A snare of sin brings terror to a person. Another explanation: According to its apparent meaning, if a person is stingy and fears that if he gives charity he will require help from people, this fear will be a snare for him. I prefer the former [interpretation], however.
