Proverbs 7:21
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
With her great persuasion she entices him; with her flattering lips she lures him.
In context
19 For my husband is not at home; he has gone on a long journey.
20 He took with him a bag of money and will not return till the moon is full.”
21 With her great persuasion she entices him; with her flattering lips she lures him.
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.
