Sprueche 6:2 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 6:2

Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth
Got into a snare out of which an escape is not easy; art no longer free, and thine own man, but under obligation to pay the debt if required; by the verbal agreement made and confirmed by striking hands, and this before witnesses; thou art taken with the words of thy mouth;
as in a net, and held fast therein and thereby, and cannot get loose without paying the debt, if the debtor does not, or without the leave of the creditor.

Sprueche 6:2 In-Context

1 Mein Sohn, wenn du Bürge geworden bist für deinen Nächsten, für einen anderen deine Hand eingeschlagen hast;
2 bist du verstrickt durch die Worte deines Mundes, gefangen durch die Worte deines Mundes:
3 tue denn dieses, mein Sohn, und reiße dich los, da du in deines Nächsten Hand gekommen bist; geh hin, wirf dich nieder, und bestürme deinen Nächsten;
4 gestatte deinen Augen keinen Schlaf, und keinen Schlummer deinen Wimpern;
5 reiße dich los wie eine Gazelle aus der Hand, und wie ein Vogel aus der Hand des Vogelstellers.
