Proverbs 7:21 in Context — Proverbs 7

19 Porque el marido no está en casa, hase ido á un largo viaje:

20 El saco de dinero llevó en su mano; el día señalado volverá á su casa.

21 Rindiólo con la mucha suavidad de sus palabras, obligóle con la blandura de sus labios.

22 Vase en pos de ella luego, como va el buey al degolladero, y como el loco á las prisiones para ser castigado;

23 Como el ave que se apresura al lazo, y no sabe que es contra su vida, hasta que la saeta traspasó su hígado.
