John Gill Commentary Proverbs 6:2

"Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, Thou art taken with the words of thy mouth." — Proverbs 6:2 (ASV)

You are snared with the words of your mouth Got into a snare out of which an escape is not easy; are no longer free, and your 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; you are taken with the words of your 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.
