Proverbs 7:22-24

Lexham English Bible

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]

²⁴ And now, my children, listen to me,
    and be attentive to the sayings of my mouth.
