Clarke's Proverbs 28:14 Bible Commentary
Happy is the man that feareth alway - That ever carries about with him that reverential and filial fear of God, which will lead him to avoid sin, and labor to do that which is lawful and right in the sight of God his Savior.
Barnes's Proverbs 28:14 Bible Commentary
The "fear" here is not so much reverential awe, as anxious, or "nervous" sensitiveness of conscience. To most men this temperament seems that of the self-tormentor. To him who looks deeper it is a condition of blessedness, and the callousness which is opposed to it ends in misery.
Wesley's Proverbs 28:14 Bible Commentary
28:14 Alway - In all times, companies, and conditions.
