Proverbs 7:22

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

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

In context

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.

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