Proverbs 7:22-24

New American Standard Bible

²² Suddenly he follows her
As an ox goes to the slaughter,
Or as ^[a]one walks in ankle bracelets to the discipline of a fool,
²³ Until an arrow pierces through his liver;
As a ^(A)bird hurries to the snare,
So he does not know that it will cost him his life.

²⁴ Now therefore, my sons, ^(B)listen to me,
And pay attention to the words of my mouth.
