Proverbs 7:22-24
Lexham English Bible
22 He goes after her suddenly;
like an ox to the slaughter he goes,
and like a stag to the instruction of a fool,
23 until an arrow pierces his entrails,[a]
like a bird rushing into a snare,
but he does not know that it will cost him his life.[b]
Reiteration of the Warning Against a Strange Woman
24 And now, my children, listen to me,
and be attentive to the sayings of my mouth.
