20 He took a lot of money with himand won’t be home for weeks.”
21 By her clever words she made him give in;by her pleasing words she led him into doing wrong.
22 All at once he followed her,like an ox led to the butcher,like a deer caught in a trap
23 and shot through the liver with an arrow.Like a bird caught in a trap,he didn’t know what he did would kill him.
24 Now, my sons, listen to me;pay attention to what I say.
25 Don’t let yourself be tricked by such a woman;don’t go where she leads you.
26 She has ruined many good men,and many have died because of her.
