Proverbs 7:22 in Context — Proverbs 7
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.
24 Ahora pues, hijos, oidme, y estad atentos á las razones de mi boca.
