Proverbs

¹⁹For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey: ²⁰He hath taken a bag of money with him; he will come home at the full moon. ²¹With her much fair speech she causeth him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forceth him away. ²²He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as fetters to the correction of the fool; ²³Till an arrow strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life. ²⁴Now therefore, my sons, hearken unto me, and attend to the words of my mouth. ²⁵Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.
