Matthew Poole and continuators on Proverbs 20:25

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

It brings guilt and God's curse and vengeance upon him.

i. e. Those Meats or Drinks which were devoted or consecrated to God. Under which one kind he comprehends and forbids all alienation of Sacred or Dedicated things from God to a Man's private use or benefit: Of which see Levit. 27. 9. Deut. 23. 21. Mal. 3▪ 8, 9. Act. 5. 1, &c.

After a Man hath made Vows to consider whether he can possibly, or may lawfully keep them, and to invent or enquire of others all ways possible to break his Vow, and to satisfie or deceive his Conscience in so doing. Which enquiry is justly censured as a sin and snare, because it is an evidence of a covetous or irreligious Mind, and is the ready way and first step towards the open violation of it.
