Proverbs 7:22-27

CJB

NIV

22 At once he follows her like an ox on its way to be slaughtered; like a fool to be punished in the stocks;
22 All at once he followed her like an ox going to the slaughter, like a deer stepping into a noose
23 or like a bird rushing into a trap, not knowing its life is at stake till an arrow pierces its liver.
23 till an arrow pierces his liver, like a bird darting into a snare, little knowing it will cost him his life.
24 So now, children, listen to me; pay attention to what I am saying.
24 Now then, my sons, listen to me; pay attention to what I say.
25 Don't let your heart turn to her ways; don't stray onto her paths.
25 Do not let your heart turn to her ways or stray into her paths.
26 For many are those she has struck down dead, numerous those she has killed.
26 Many are the victims she has brought down; her slain are a mighty throng.
27 Her house is the way to Sh'ol; it leads down to the halls of death.
27 Her house is a highway to the grave, leading down to the chambers of death.
