Proverbs 7:22-24
Holman Christian Standard Bible
22 He follows her impulsively
like an ox going to the slaughter,
like a deer bounding toward a trap[a]
23 until an arrow pierces its[b] liver,(A)
like a bird darting into a snare(B)—
he doesn’t know it will cost him his life.
24 Now, my sons, listen to me,
and pay attention to the words of my mouth.
