The Fear of Man Is a Snare
기원전 10~6세기 편집 (히브리 지혜문학)
ORIGINAL
חֶרְדַּת אָדָם יִתֵּן מוֹקֵשׁ
📜 THE VERSE
The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever keeps his center is kept safe.
❓ TODAY'S QUESTION
Afraid of others' eyes, am I folding up what I believe is right?
📝Reflection
The fear of how others see me is a deeper snare than I thought. Bound to that gaze, I quietly fold up even what I believe is right. This verse notes coolly that the fear of man is a trap. Trying to satisfy everyone, I lose myself in the end. One who takes his own center, not others' glances, as compass does not sway hard when the wind blows. Where I set fear down, my own steps finally begin.

For one thing you nearly folded from fear of others' eyes, if it fits your center, push it one step forward.
