20 He hath taken with him a bagge of siluer, and will come home at the day appointed.
21 Thus with her great craft she caused him to yeelde, and with her flattering lips she entised him.
22 And he followed her straight wayes, as an oxe that goeth to the slaughter, and as a foole to the stockes for correction,
23 Till a dart strike through his liuer, as a bird hasteth to the snare, not knowing that he is in danger.
24 Heare me now therefore, O children, and hearken to the wordes of my mouth.
25 Let not thine heart decline to her wayes: wander thou not in her paths.
