Proverbs 7:21-23

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²¹ With much seductive speech she persuades him;
    with her smooth talk she compels him.
²² All at once he follows her,
    as an ox goes to the slaughter,
or as a stag is caught fast^[a]
23     till an arrow pierces its entrails;
as a bird rushes into a snare;
    he does not know that it will cost him his life.
