Proverbs 7:22-24

New Catholic Bible

²² Bemused, he followed her,
    like an ox being led to the slaughter,
like a stag stepping into a noose,
²³     until an arrow pierces its liver,
like a bird rushing into a snare,
    not realizing its life is at stake.
²⁴ So now, my son, listen to me
    and be attentive to what I have to say.
