21 She persuades him with the greatness of her teachings; with her smooth lips she compels him.
22 He goes after her suddenly; like an ox to the slaughter he goes, and like a stag to the instruction of a fool,
23 until an arrow pierces his entrails, like a bird rushing into a snare, but he does not know that it will cost him his life.
24 And now, my children, listen to me, and be attentive to the sayings of my mouth.
25 May your heart not turn aside to her ways; do not stray into her path.
26 For many slain she has laid low, and countless are all of her killings.
27 The ways of Sheol are her house, descending to chambers of death.
