You are snared by the words of your mouth; You are taken by the words of your mouth.
A fool’s mouth is his destruction, And his lips are the snare of his soul.
The wicked is ensnared by the transgression of his lips, But the righteous will come through trouble.
You shall burn the carved images of their gods with fire; you shall not covet the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it for yourselves, lest you be snared by it; for it is an abomination to the Lord your God.
My son, if you become surety for your friend, If you have shaken hands in pledge for a stranger,
So do this, my son, and deliver yourself; For you have come into the hand of your friend: Go and humble yourself; Plead with your friend.
