Proverbs 7:22-24
Revised Standard Version
Proverbs 7:22-24
Revised Standard Version
22 All at once he follows her,
as an ox goes to the slaughter,
or as a stag is caught fast[a]
23 till an arrow pierces its entrails;
as a bird rushes into a snare;
he does not know that it will cost him his life.
24 And now, O sons, listen to me,
and be attentive to the words of my mouth.

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.
