Proverbs 7:21-27
21
With persuasive words she led him astray; she seduced him with her smooth talk.
22
All at once he followed her like an ox going to the slaughter, like a deera stepping into a nooseb
23
till an arrow pierces his liver, like a bird darting into a snare, little knowing it will cost him his life.
24
Now then, my sons, listen to me; pay attention to what I say.
25
Do not let your heart turn to her ways or stray into her paths.
26
Many are the victims she has brought down; her slain are a mighty throng.
27
Her house is a highway to the grave, leading down to the chambers of death.
