Proverbs 7:22-24
New American Standard Bible 1995
22 Suddenly he follows her
As an ox goes to the slaughter,
Or as [a]one in fetters to the discipline of a fool,
23 Until an arrow pierces through his liver;
As a (A)bird hastens to the snare,
So he does not know that it will cost him his life.
24 Now therefore, my sons, (B)listen to me,
And pay attention to the words of my mouth.

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.
