American Standard Version
"He goeth after her straightway, As an ox goeth to the slaughter, Or asone infetters to the correction of the fool; "
— Proverbs 7:22, American Standard Version
“He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;”
“He followed her immediately, as an ox goes to the slaughter, as a fool stepping into a noose.”
“Suddenly he was going after her like an ox that goes to the slaughter, like a stag prancing into a trapper’s snare”
“Immediately he followeth her as an ox led to be a victim, and as a lamb playing the wanton, and not knowing that he is drawn like a fool to bonds,”
“The simple man goes after her, like an ox going to its death, like a roe pulled by a cord;”
“He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;”
For the man is not at home; He is gone a long journey:
He hath taken a bag of money with him; He will come home at the full moon.
With her much fair speech she causeth him to yield; With the flattering of her lips she forceth him along.
He goeth after her straightway, As an ox goeth to the slaughter, Or asone infetters to the correction of the fool;
Till an arrow strike through his liver; As a bird hasteth to the snare, And knoweth not that it is for his life.
Now therefore, mysons, hearken unto me, And attend to the words of my mouth.
Let not thy heart decline to her ways; Go not astray in her paths.
