Proverbs 7:20-22
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

20 He took a bag of money with him;
    he will not come home until full moon.’

21 With much seductive speech she persuades him;
    with her smooth talk she compels him.
22 Right away he follows her,
    and goes like an ox to the slaughter,
or bounds like a stag towards the trap[a]
