Proverbs 7:23 in Context — Proverbs 7
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.
25 No se aparte á sus caminos tu corazón; no yerres en sus veredas.
