Proverbs 20:25 Commentary: Rashi

מוֹקֵ֣שׁ אָ֭דָם יָ֣לַע קֹ֑דֶשׁ וְאַחַ֖ר נְדָרִ֣ים לְבַקֵּֽר׃

It is a snare to a man rashly to say: ‘Holy’, and after vows to make inquiry.

Rashi on Proverbs

When a man is trapped, he impairs his sanctity Heb. ילע. When a man stumbles and is trapped in sins, he impairs his sanctity, as in (Obadiah verse 16) “and they shall drink and be stunned (ולעו).”
