Read in context

Proverbs 7:22–26 · Berean Standard Bible

22 He follows her on impulse, like an ox going to the slaughter, like a deer bounding into a trap,

23 until an arrow pierces his liver, like a bird darting into a snare— not knowing it will cost him his life.

24 Now, my sons, listen to me, and attend to the words of my mouth.

25 Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways; do not stray into her paths.

26 For she has brought many down to death; her slain are many in number.
