It is a snare to the man who devoureth that which is holy, and after vows to make enquiry.

Verse 25 is found in chapter 20 of Proverbs. Human steps are under the Lord’s direction, so a person does not fully know the outcome of his path. The text also warns against making religious promises hastily and then retracting them. The wise king searches out wickedness, and discipline can reach deeply into the human interior. The teaching joins sovereignty, responsibility, and correction.

Es ist dem Menschen ein Strick, sich mit Heiligem übereilen und erst nach den Geloben überlegen.
Lazo es al hombre el devorar lo santo, Y andar pesquisando después de los votos.
C'est un piège pour l'homme que de prendre à la légère un engagement sacré, Et de ne réfléchir qu'après avoir fait un voeu.
Dire inconsideratamente: Questa è cosa sacra; E riflettere dopo aver fatti i voti, è un laccio all’uomo
Laço é para o homem apropriar-se do que é santo, e só refletir depois de feitos os votos.
人冒失地聲稱:「這是神聖的!」 許願之後才細想,就是自陷圈套。
