Proverbs 20:25

Lexham English Bible

²⁵It is a snare to humankind to say rashly “It is holy,”
and after vows, to scrutinize.

Proverbs 20:25

Common English Bible

²⁵It is a snare to say rashly, “It is holy,”
and only reflect after making the promise.

⁸do not hastily bring out to court,
for^[a] what will you do at its end,
when your neighbor puts you to shame?

⁸don’t be quick to quarrel over;
what will you do in the future when your neighbor shames you?

²⁰You see a man who is hasty in his words:
there is more hope for a fool than him.

²⁰Do you see people who are quick to speak?
There is more hope for fools than for them.
