Proverbs 7:21-23

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²¹ With much seductive speech she persuades him;
    with her smooth talk she compels him.^(A)
22 Right away he follows her
    and goes like an ox to the slaughter
or bounds like a stag toward the trap^[a]
23     until an arrow pierces its entrails.
He is like a bird rushing into a snare,
    not knowing that it will cost him his life.^(B)
