King James Version with Apocrypha
"He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;"
— Proverbs 7:22, King James Version with Apocrypha
“He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;”
“He goeth after her straightway, As an ox goeth to the slaughter, Or asone infetters to the correction of the fool; ”
“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;”
For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey:
He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.
With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.
He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;
Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.
Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.
Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.
