God's Word Translation

Proverbs 7:21-26 God's Word Translation (GW)

21. With all her seductive charms, she persuades him.With her smooth lips, she makes him give in.

22. He immediately follows herlike a steer on its way to be slaughtered,like a ram hobbling into captivity

23. until an arrow pierces his heart,like a bird darting into a trap.He does not realize that it will cost him his life.

24. Now, sons,listen to me.Pay attention to the words from my mouth.

25. Do not let your heart be turned to her ways.Do not wander onto her paths,

26. because she has brought down many victims,and she has killed all too many.
