Proverbs 7:22-24

New Living Translation

²² He followed her at once,
    like an ox going to the slaughter.
He was like a stag caught in a trap,^[a]
23     awaiting the arrow that would pierce its heart.
He was like a bird flying into a snare,
    little knowing it would cost him his life.

²⁴ So listen to me, my sons,
    and pay attention to my words.
