Proverbs 7:19-23

Prov.7.19-Prov.7.23

19For my husband is not at home; he has gone on a long journey; 20he took a bag of money with him; at full moon he will come home.” 21With much seductive speech she persuades him; with her smooth talk she compels him. 22All at once he follows her, as an ox goes to the slaughter, or as a stag is caught fast 23till an arrow pierces its liver; as a bird rushes into a snare; he does not know that it will cost him his life.
