Proverbs 7:23

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

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

In context

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.

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