Proverbs 7:22-24
Easy-to-Read Version
22 He followed her, like a bull being led to the slaughter. He was like a deer walking into a trap, 23 where a hunter waits to shoot an arrow through its heart. The boy was like a bird flying into a net, never seeing the danger he was in.
24 Now, sons, listen to me. Pay attention to what I say.

Proverbs 7:22-24
New International Version
22 All at once he followed her
like an ox going to the slaughter,
like a deer[a] stepping into a noose[b](A)
23 till an arrow pierces(B) his liver,
like a bird darting into a snare,
little knowing it will cost him his life.(C)
24 Now then, my sons, listen(D) to me;
pay attention to what I say.
