Proverbs 7:18-23 ▼

18 “Come, let’s drink our fill of love until morning; Let’s delight ourselves with caresses.

19 “For my husband is not at home; He has gone on a long journey.

20 “He has taken a bag of money with him. At the full moon he will come home.”

21 With her many persuasions she entices him; With her flattering lips she seduces him.

22 Suddenly he follows her As an ox goes to the slaughter, Or as one walks in ankle bracelets to the discipline of a fool,

23 Until an arrow pierces through his liver; As a bird hurries to the snare, So he does not know that it will cost him his life.
