Proverbs 7:22 - Compare All Versions

Soon she has him eating out of her hand, bewitched by her honeyed speech. Before you know it, he’s trotting behind her, like a calf led to the butcher shop, Like a stag lured into ambush and then shot with an arrow, Like a bird flying into a net not knowing that its flying life is over.

He goeth after her straightway, As an ox goeth to the slaughter, Or as a fool to the correction of the stocks

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

All at once he followed her, like an ox led to the butcher, like a deer caught in a trap

He goeth after her straightway, As an ox goeth to the slaughter, Or as one in fetters to the correction of the fool

All at once he followed her like an ox going to the slaughter, like a deer stepping into a noose

Immediately he went after her, as an ox goes to the slaughter, Or as a fool to the correction of the stocks

Suddenly he went after her, as an ox goes to the slaughter [not knowing the outcome], Or as one in stocks going to the correction [to be given] to a fool

He followed her at once, like an ox going to the slaughter. He was like a stag caught in a trap

He was swayed by her sophistication, enticed by her longing embrace. She led him down the wayward path right into sin and disgrace. Quickly he went astray, with no clue where he was truly headed, taken like a dumb ox alongside the butcher. She was like a venomous snake coiled to strike, so she set her fangs into him!

All at once he follows her, as an ox goes to the slaughter, or as a stag is caught fast
