Proverbs 20:25

Don’t trap yourself by making a rash promise to God
and only later counting the cost.

It is a trap to dedicate something rashly
and only later to consider one’s vows.

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

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

It is a snare for a man to devote rashly something as holy,
And afterward to reconsider his vows.

It is a snare for one to say rashly, “It is holy,”
and begin to reflect only after making a vow.

It is a snare to a man to make a rash dedication,
then later to consider his vows.

It is rash to pledge a sacred gift,
or to make a vow and then have second thoughts.

Bible verse of the day

God places the lonely in families;
he sets the prisoners free and gives them joy.
But he makes the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land.

But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.
