Proverbs 7:22 in Context — Proverbs 7
20 Ele tomou uma bolsa de dinheiro em sua mão; [e só] volta para casa no dia determinado.
21 Ela o convenceu com suas muitas palavras sedutoras; com a lisonja de seus lábios ela o persuadiu.
22 Ele foi logo após ela, como o boi vai ao matadouro; e como o louco ao castigo das prisões.
23 Até que uma flecha atravesse seu fígado; como a ave que se apressa para a armadilha, e não sabe que está [armada] contra sua vida.
24 Agora pois, filhos, escutai-me; e prestai atenção às palavras de minha boca.
