21. With her enticing speech she caused him to yield,With her flattering lips she seduced him.
22. Immediately he went after her, as an ox goes to the slaughter,Or as a fool to the correction of the stocks,
23. Till an arrow struck his liver.As a bird hastens to the snare,He did not know it would cost his life.
24. Now therefore, listen to me, my children;Pay attention to the words of my mouth:
25. Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways,Do not stray into her paths;
26. For she has cast down many wounded,And all who were slain by her were strong men.
27. Her house is the way to hell,Descending to the chambers of death.
