Jamieson, Fausset & Brown, on Prov 20:25

Prov 20:25 · Douay-Rheims
“It is ruin to a man to devour holy ones, and after vows to retract.”
On this verse:
“devoureth . . . holy--or, better, "who rashly speaks promises," or "devotes what is holy," consecrating any thing. This suits better the last clause, which expresses a similar view of the results of rashly vowing.”
