Proverbs 7:22-24

Good News Translation

²² Suddenly he was going with her like an ox on the way to be slaughtered, like a deer prancing into a trap^{[a] 23} where an arrow would pierce its heart. He was like a bird going into a net—he did not know that his life was in danger.

²⁴ Now then, sons, listen to me. Pay attention to what I say.
