Proverbs 7:22

22 Before you know it, he's trotting behind her, like a calf led to the butcher shop, Like a stag lured into ambush

Proverbs 7:22 In-Context

21 Soon she has him eating out of her hand, bewitched by her honeyed speech.
22 Before you know it, he's trotting behind her, like a calf led to the butcher shop, Like a stag lured into ambush
23 and then shot with an arrow, Like a bird flying into a net not knowing that its flying life is over.
24 So, friends, listen to me, take these words of mine most seriously.
