Proverbs 7:22-24

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²² Immediately he followeth her as an ox led to be a victim, and as a lamb playing the wanton, and not knowing that he is drawn like a fool to bonds,

²³ Till the arrow pierce his liver: as if a bird should make haste to the snare, and knoweth not that his life is in danger.

²⁴ Now therefore, my son, hear me, and attend to the words of my mouth.
