Pro 7:22-23, Hab 1:14-17, 2Ti 2:26 | ESV | STEP | All at once he follows her, as an ox goes to the slaughter , or as a stag is caught fast

Proverbs 7:22-23

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 ^ba bird rushes into a snare;
he does not know that it will cost him his life.

Habakkuk 1:14-17

14 You make mankind like the fish of the sea,
like crawling things that have no ruler.
15 ^cHe ^{▼▼That is, the wicked foe} brings all of them up ^ewith a hook;
he drags them out with his net;
he gathers them in his dragnet;
so he rejoices and is glad.
16 ^fTherefore he sacrifices to his net
and makes offerings to his dragnet;
for by them he lives in luxury, ^{▼▼Hebrew his portion is fat}
and his food is rich.
17 Is he then to keep on emptying his net
^hand mercilessly killing nations forever?

2 Timothy 2:26

26 and they may come to their senses and escape from ⁱthe snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will.
