Proverbs 7:21-23
Jubilee Bible 2000
21 With her much fair speech she caused him to yield; with the flattering of her lips she persuaded him.
22 He went after her straightway, as an ox goes to the slaughter or as a fool to the correction of the stocks,
23 until the arrow pierces through his liver. He is as a bird struggling in the snare and not knowing that it is against his own life.

Proverbs 7:21-23
New International Version
21 With persuasive words she led him astray;
she seduced him with her smooth talk.(A)
22 All at once he followed her
like an ox going to the slaughter,
like a deer[a] stepping into a noose[b](B)
23 till an arrow pierces(C) his liver,
like a bird darting into a snare,
little knowing it will cost him his life.(D)
