19For my husband is not at home;
he has gone on a long journey.
20He took with him a bag of money
and will not return till the moon is full.”

22He follows her on impulse,
like an ox going to the slaughter,
like a deer bounding into a trap,
23until an arrow pierces his liver,
like a bird darting into a snare —
not knowing it will cost him his life.
— Proverbs 7:19-23
