if you have trapped yourself by your agreement and are caught by what you said—
The wicked are trapped by their own words, but the godly escape such trouble.
The mouths of fools are their ruin; they trap themselves with their lips.
My child, if you have put up security for a friend’s debt or agreed to guarantee the debt of a stranger—
follow my advice and save yourself, for you have placed yourself at your friend’s mercy. Now swallow your pride; go and beg to have your name erased.
“You must burn their idols in fire, and you must not covet the silver or gold that covers them. You must not take it or it will become a trap to you, for it is detestable to the Lord your God.
