21So she seduced him with her pretty speech
and enticed him with her flattery.
22He followed her at once,
like an ox going to the slaughter.
He was like a stag caught in a trap,*7:22 As in Greek and Syriac versions; Hebrew reads slaughter, as shackles are for the discipline of a fool.
23awaiting the arrow that would pierce its heart.
He was like a bird flying into a snare,
little knowing it would cost him his life.
