Proverbs 7:21-23

21 With much seductive speech she persuades him;
with ^aher smooth talk she compels him.
22 All 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}
23 till an arrow pierces its liver;
as ^ca bird rushes into a snare;
he does not know that it will cost him his life.
