Proverbs 7:18-25

¹⁸Come with me, let's make love until the morning. Let's enjoy one another in our love-making!

¹⁹My husband isn't home; he's gone on a long trip.

²⁰He took a bag of money with him, and he won't be coming back until the full moon.”

²¹She convinced him with all that she said; she seduced him with her smooth talking.

²²He followed her right away, like an ox to the slaughter. Like a stag that's caught in a snare

²³until an arrow pierces its liver, like a bird flying into a trap, he's unaware he will pay with his life.

²⁴So now listen to me, my sons, and pay attention to what I'm saying.

²⁵Don't even think about following her. Don't stray down her road.
