Мишлей 28:14 Каббала: Sha'arei Orah

I now will further explain this verse, “Yitzchak loved Esav for the hunted-Tzayid-ציד was in his mouth.” Know that Yitzchak is the quality of judgment-Din-דין and fear-Pachad-פחד, and He therefore loves all the titles of judgment that know how to trap-LaTzud-לצוד the wicked for judgment in purgatory (Gehinom). For, if not for the quality of fear-Pachad-פחד of the judgments of purgatory (Gehinom) many righteous people would fall to sin. Thus, the quality of the fear of Yitzchak-Pachad Yitzchak-פחד יצחק is of very great benefit, in that a person fears the judgments of purgatory (Gehinom) and is therefore careful not to transgress. This is the secret of the fear of Yitzchak-Pachad Yitzchak-פחד יצחק, about which the verse states,³⁴⁴Proverbs 28:14 “Happy is the man who always is fearful-Mefached-מפחד.”
