Proverbs 7:21-23
WEB · Bible Passage
Bible Text
[21] With persuasive words, she led him astray. With the flattering of her lips, she seduced him. [22] He followed her immediately, As an ox goes to the slaughter, As a fool stepping into a noose. [23] Until an arrow strikes through his liver, As a bird hurries to the snare, And doesn't know that it will cost his life.
