Where there are not faithful ministers of the word of God.
Verse 19
A 1 servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understandeth he will not answer.
He who is of a servile and rebellious nature.
Verse 25
The fear of man bringeth a 1 snare: but he who putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.
He who fears man more than God falls into a snare and is destroyed.
Verse 26
