Proverbs 7:21-27 ▼

21 She turns him aside with the abundance of her speech, || She forces him with the flattery of her lips.

22 He is going after her straight away, he comes as an ox to the slaughter, || And as a chain to the discipline of a fool,

23 Until an arrow splits his liver, || As a bird has hurried to a snare, || And has not known that it [is] for its life.

24 And now, you sons, listen to me, || And give attention to sayings of my mouth.

25 Do not let your heart turn to her ways, || Do not wander in her paths,

26 For many [are] the wounded she caused to fall, || And mighty [are] all her slain ones.

27 The ways of Sheol—her house, || Going down to inner chambers of death!
