Exegesis
This links to the construct chain mimmôqšê {מִמֹּ֥קְשֵׁי | mimmôqšê} mā-wet {מָֽוֶת׃ | mā-wet} ‘from the snares of death’. The Hebrew word order places the life metaphor before the purpose clause to emphasize that true reverence both grants vitality and redirects one away from danger.
In context — Proverbs 14:27
The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to turn aside from the snares of death.
