20He hath taken a bag of money with him; He will come home at the full moon.

21With her much fair speech she causeth him to yield; With the flattering of her lips she forceth him along.

22He goeth after her straightway, As an ox goeth to the slaughter, Or as [one in] fetters to the correction of the fool;

23Till an arrow strike through his liver; As a bird hasteth to the snare, And knoweth not that it is for his life.

24Now therefore, [my] sons, hearken unto me, And attend to the words of my mouth.
