Proverbs 7:21-27 New English Translation (NET)

21. She persuaded him with persuasive words;with her smooth talk she compelled him.

22. Suddenly he went after herlike an ox that goes to the slaughter,like a stag prancing into a trapper’s snare

23. till an arrow pierces his liver – like a bird hurrying into a trap,and he does not know that it will cost him his life.

24. So now, sons, listen to me,and pay attention to the words I speak.

25. Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways – do not wander into her pathways;

26. for she has brought down many fatally wounded,and all those she has slain are many.

27. Her house is the way to the grave,going down to the chambers of death.
