Proverbs 7:23 in Context — Proverbs 7
21 Elle le séduisit à force de paroles, Elle l’entraîna par ses lèvres doucereuses.
22 Il se mit tout à coup à la suivre, Comme le bœuf qui va à la boucherie, Comme un fou qu’on lie pour le châtier,
23 Jusqu’à ce qu’une flèche lui perce le foie, Comme l’oiseau qui se précipite dans le filet, Sans savoir que c’est au prix de sa vie.
24 Et maintenant, mes fils, écoutez-moi, Et soyez attentifs aux paroles de ma bouche.
25 Que ton cœur ne se détourne pas vers les voies d’une telle femme, Ne t’égare pas dans ses sentiers.
