Proverbs 7:21-23, 26-27

Proverbs 7:21-23 NCV

By her clever words she made him give in; by her pleasing words she led him into doing wrong. All at once he followed her, like an ox led to the butcher, like a deer caught in a trap and shot through the liver with an arrow. Like a bird caught in a trap, he didn’t know what he did would kill him.

Proverbs 7:26-27 NCV

She has ruined many good men, and many have died because of her. Her house is on the road to death, the road that leads down to the grave.
