Proverbs 7:23 Context
21With much faire speech she caused him to yeeld, with the flattering of her lips she forced him. 22He goeth after her straightway, as an oxe goeth to the slaughter, or as a foole to the correction of the stocks, 23Til a dart strike through his liuer, as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life. 24¶ Hearken vnto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth. 25Let not thine heart decline to her wayes, goe not astray in her paths.
