Proverbs 7:22 In-Context
20
He has taken a bag of money with him, At the full moon he will come home."
21
With her many persuasions she entices him; With her flattering lips she seduces him.
22
Suddenly he follows her As an ox goes to the slaughter, Or as one in fetters to the discipline of a fool,
23
Until an arrow pierces through his liver; As a bird hastens to the snare, So he does not know that it will cost him his life.
24
Now therefore, my sons, listen to me, And pay attention to the words of my mouth.
