Proverbs 7:21-23
New Catholic Bible
21 With her persistent urging she persuaded him,
luring him astray with her seductive words.[a]
22 Bemused, he followed her,
like an ox being led to the slaughter,
like a stag stepping into a noose,
23 until an arrow pierces its liver,
like a bird rushing into a snare,
not realizing its life is at stake.
