Proverbs 7:21-23
Lexham English Bible
21 She persuades him with the greatness of her teachings;
with her smooth lips she compels him.
22 He goes after her suddenly;
like an ox to the slaughter he goes,
and like a stag to the instruction of a fool,
23 until an arrow pierces his entrails,[a]
like a bird rushing into a snare,
but he does not know that it will cost him his life.[b]
