The King James Version Bible

Proverbs 7:21-27

  1. With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.

  2. He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;

  3. Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.

  4. Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.

  5. Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.

  6. For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.

  7. Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.
