And whose trust shall be a spiders web.
As hope before, so here trust, may be put either for the act or object of trust: and both (by a Synecdoche) for the whole profession of an hypocrite.
Hope and trust are often taken promiscuously. There is a gradual difference between them, not an essential. Trust being the strength of hope, or the acting of a strong faith.1 The original word signifies a very quiet, secure, settled trust; when a man trusts upon, or about a thing, without casting so much as a jealous thought after it. Thus the hypocrite trusts; he never suspects himself; his heart saith all is well, Levit. 25.18. Ye shall dwell in the land in safety; the word is, Ye shall dwell in the land in trust, because an opinion of safety is the companion of trust; when we trust our condition is good, then we think our selves safe.
