Proverbs 7:18-24 New Century Version (NCV)

18. Come, let’s make love until morning.Let’s enjoy each other’s love.

19. My husband is not home;he has gone on a long trip.

20. He took a lot of money with himand won’t be home for weeks.”

21. By her clever words she made him give in;by her pleasing words she led him into doing wrong.

22. All at once he followed her,like an ox led to the butcher,like a deer caught in a trap

23. and shot through the liver with an arrow.Like a bird caught in a trap,he didn’t know what he did would kill him.

24. Now, my sons, listen to me;pay attention to what I say.
