21 This is what the woman said to tempt the young man, and her smooth words tricked him.
22 He followed her, like a bull being led to the slaughter. He was like a deer walking into a trap,
23 where a hunter waits to shoot an arrow through its heart. The boy was like a bird flying into a net, never seeing the danger he was in.
24 Now, sons, listen to me. Pay attention to what I say.
25 Don’t let your heart lead you to an evil woman like that. Don’t go where she wants to lead you.
26 She has brought down some of the most powerful men; she has left many dead bodies in her path.
27 Her house is the place of death. The road to it leads straight to the grave.
