Proverbs 7:21-23 The Message (MSG)
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 was swayed by her sophistication, enticed by her longing embrace. She led him down the wayward path right into sin and disgrace.
