Proverbs 7:21 in context

  1. 19For my husband isn’t at home.
    He has gone on a long journey.
  2. 20He has taken a bag of money with him.
    He will come home at the full moon.”
  3. 21With persuasive words, she led him astray.
    With the flattering of her lips, she seduced him.
  4. 22He followed her immediately,
    as an ox goes to the slaughter,
    as a fool stepping into a noose.
  5. 23Until an arrow strikes through his liver,
    as a bird hurries to the snare,
    and doesn’t know that it will cost his life.
