21 With her much fair speech she causeth him to yield;
With the flattering of her lips she forceth him along. 22 He goeth after her straightway,
As an ox goeth to the slaughter,
Or as [one in] fetters to the correction of the fool; 23 Till an arrow strike through his liver;
As a bird hasteth to the snare,
And knoweth not that it is for his life.
24 Now therefore, [my] sons, hearken unto me,
And attend to the words of my mouth. 25 Let not thy heart decline to her ways;
Go not astray in her paths. 26 For she hath cast down many wounded:
Yea, all her slain are a mighty host. 27 Her house is the way to Sheol,
Going down to the chambers of death.
