Proverbs 7:22-23
King James Version

22 He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;

23 Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.

Proverbs 7:22-23
New International Version

22 All at once he followed her
    like an ox going to the slaughter,
like a deer[a] stepping into a noose[b](A)
23     till an arrow pierces(B) his liver,
like a bird darting into a snare,
    little knowing it will cost him his life.(C)
