Context of Proverbs 7:24
22Suddenly he hurried to follow her! He went like an ox that men are leading to its death. He went like a deer that is running towards a trap. 23Then an arrow will go straight into its body and kill it! The young man was like a bird that is flying into a trap. He did not know that his life was in danger. So listen to me, my sons. Listen carefully to what I am saying. 25Do not let that kind of woman spoil your mind. Do not let her lead you away from what is right. 26She has caused many men to fall. Because of her, too many men have thrown away their lives.
