Proverbs 7:21-23

New International Reader's Version

²¹ She led him astray with her clever words.
    She charmed him with her smooth talk.
²² All at once he followed her.
    He was like an ox going to be killed.
He was like a deer stepping into a trap
²³     until an arrow struck its liver.
He was like a bird rushing into a trap.
    Little did he know it would cost him his life!
