Proverbs 6:2

[ <1 minutes to read ]

Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.
– Proverbs 6:2

[S]nared and taken refer to being caught in a trap such as a hunter might use to catch an animal. In this case, the impetuous youth’s mouth has landed him in the trap. Being in the trap is the consequence of a hasty action taken without thought. The way of wisdom is to consider well the implications and outcome of a path before entering upon it (Proverbs 4:26; 14:8, 15; 22:3). The issue here is debt and surety but the applications go beyond.
