as an ox goes to the slaughter,

as (C)a bird rushes into a snare;
he does not know that it will cost him his life.

Proverbs 1:10-19
English Standard Version
10 My son, if sinners (A)entice you,
do not consent.
11 If they say, “Come with us, (B)let us lie in wait for blood;
(C)let us ambush the innocent without reason;
12 like Sheol let us (D)swallow them alive,
and whole, like (E)those who go down to the pit;
13 we shall find all precious goods,
we shall fill our houses with plunder;
14 throw in your lot among us;
we will all have one purse”—
15 my son, (F)do not walk in the way with them;
(G)hold back your foot from their paths,
16 for (H)their feet run to evil,
and they make haste to shed blood.
17 (I)For in vain is a net spread
in the sight of any bird,
18 but these men (J)lie in wait for their own blood;
they (K)set an ambush for their own lives.
19 (L)Such are the ways of everyone who is (M)greedy for unjust gain;
(N)it takes away the life of its possessors.
Job 31:9-11

and let others (C)bow down on her.
11 For that would be a heinous crime;
that would be an iniquity (D)to be punished by the judges;
