Proverbs 7:22
He follows her on impulse, like an ox going to the slaughter, like a deer bounding into a trap,
Note Probable reading (see LXX, Vulgate, Syriac); Hebrew like fetters to discipline a fool
He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;
Note straightway: Heb. suddenly
He followed her immediately, as an ox goes to the slaughter, as a fool stepping into a noose.
He goeth after her straightway, As an ox goeth to the slaughter, Or as one in fetters to the correction of the fool;
