Proverbs 7:22-24

Expanded Bible

²²All at once he followed her,
like an ox led to the ·butcher [slaughter],
like a ·deer caught in a trap [or fool to the stocks]
²³ ·and shot through the liver with an arrow [until an arrow pierces his liver].
Like a bird ·caught in [^Lhurrying to] a trap,
he didn’t know ·what he did would kill him [it would cost him his life].

²⁴Now, my sons, listen to me;
pay attention to ·what I say [^Lthe speech of my mouth].
