Proverbs 7:22-24

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

²²Right away he follows her,
    and goes like an ox to the slaughter,
or bounds like a stag towards the trap^[a]
²³    until an arrow pierces its entrails.
He is like a bird rushing into a snare,
    not knowing that it will cost him his life.

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