Proverbs 7:22 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 7:22

20 He has taken a bag of money¹ with him,
And will come home¹ on the appointed day.”

21 With ^aher enticing speech she caused him to yield,
^bWith her flattering lips she¹ seduced him.

22 Immediately he went after her, as an ox goes to the slaughter,
Or¹ as a fool to the correction of the² stocks,

23 Till an arrow struck his liver.
^aAs a bird hastens to the snare,
He did not know it¹ would cost his life.

24 Now therefore, listen to me, my children;
Pay attention to the words of my mouth:

25 Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways,
Do not stray into her paths;
