Proverbs 7:21-23
21 With much seductive speech she persuades him;with aher 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 ▼
▼Probable reading (compare Septuagint, Vulgate, Syriac); Hebrew as an anklet for the discipline of a fool
23till an arrow pierces its liver;
as ca bird rushes into a snare;
he does not know that it will cost him his life.
Proverbs 7:26-27
26for many a victim has she laid low,and all her slain are da mighty throng.
27Her house is ethe way to Sheol,
going down to the chambers of death.
Luke 11:8
8I tell you, though he will not get up and give him anything fbecause he is his friend, yet because of his impudence ▼▼Or persistence
he will rise and give him whatever he needs. Luke 18:5
5yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will give her justice, so that she will not beat me down by her continual coming.’”
