Bible verse
if you have been trapped by the words of your lips, ensnared by the words of your mouth,
Proverbs 6:2 · BSB
The verses around it, from Proverbs 6.
1 My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor, if you have struck hands in pledge with a stranger,
2 if you have been trapped by the words of your lips, ensnared by the words of your mouth,
3 then do this, my son, to free yourself, for you have fallen into your neighbor’s hands: Go, humble yourself, and press your plea with your neighbor.
4 Allow no sleep to your eyes or slumber to your eyelids.
5 Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the snare of the fowler.
6 Walk in the manner of the ant, O slacker; observe its ways and become wise.
