Proverbs 6:2

2 inlaqueatus es verbis oris tui et captus propriis sermonibus

Proverbs 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.

Proverbs 6:2 In-Context

1 fili mi si spoponderis pro amico tuo defixisti apud extraneum manum tuam

2 inlaqueatus es verbis oris tui et captus propriis sermonibus

3 fac ergo quod dico fili mi et temet ipsum libera quia incidisti in manu proximi tui discurre festina suscita amicum tuum

4 ne dederis somnum oculis tuis nec dormitent palpebrae tuae

5 eruere quasi dammula de manu et quasi avis de insidiis aucupis
