Context of Proverbs 3:25
23Then you will walk in your way securely And your foot will not stumble. 24When you lie down, you will not be afraid; When you lie down, your sleep will be sweet. Do not be afraid of sudden fear Nor of the onslaught of the wicked when it comes; 26For the Lord will be your confidence And will keep your foot from being caught. 27Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, When it is in your power to do it.
