Proverbs 7:21-23

Good News Translation

²¹ So she tempted him with her charms, and he gave in to her smooth talk. ²² Suddenly he was going with her like an ox on the way to be slaughtered, like a deer prancing into a trap^{[a] 23} where an arrow would pierce its heart. He was like a bird going into a net—he did not know that his life was in danger.
