Proverbs 7:20-22

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁰ He has taken a bag of money with him and will come home at the day appointed [at the full moon].

²¹ With much justifying and enticing argument she persuades him, with the allurements of her lips she leads him [to overcome his conscience and his fears] and forces him along.

²² Suddenly he [yields and] follows her reluctantly like an ox moving to the slaughter, like one in fetters going to the correction [to be given] to a fool or ^[a]like a dog enticed by food to the muzzle
