22 He is going after her straight away, he comes as an ox to the slaughter, || And as a chain to the discipline of a fool, All at once he follows her, as an ox goes to the slaughter, or as a stag is caught fast All at once he followed her like an ox going to the slaughter, like a deer stepping into a noose
23 Until an arrow splits his liver, || As a bird has hurried to a snare, || And has not known that it [is] for its life. till an arrow pierces its liver; as a bird rushes into a snare; he does not know that it will cost him his life. till an arrow pierces his liver, like a bird darting into a snare, little knowing it will cost him his life.
24 And now, you sons, listen to me, || And give attention to sayings of my mouth. And now, O sons, listen to me, and be attentive to the words of my mouth. Now then, my sons, listen to me; pay attention to what I say.
25 Do not let your heart turn to her ways, || Do not wander in her paths, Let not your heart turn aside to her ways; do not stray into her paths, Do not let your heart turn to her ways or stray into her paths.
26 For many [are] the wounded she caused to fall, || And mighty [are] all her slain ones. for many a victim has she laid low, and all her slain are a mighty throng. Many are the victims she has brought down; her slain are a mighty throng.
27 The ways of Sheol—her house, || Going down to inner chambers of death! Her house is the way to Sheol, going down to the chambers of death. Her house is a highway to the grave, leading down to the chambers of death.
