Proverbs 7:21-27
Christian Standard Bible
21 She seduces him with her persistent pleading;
she lures with her flattering talk.
22 He follows her impulsively
like an ox going to the slaughter,
like a deer bounding toward a trap[a]
23 until an arrow pierces its[b] liver,(A)
like a bird darting into a snare(B)—
he doesn’t know it will cost him his life.
24 Now, sons, listen to me,
and pay attention to the words from my mouth.
25 Don’t let your heart turn aside to her ways;
don’t stray onto her paths.(C)
26 For she has brought many down to death;
her victims are countless.[c]
27 Her house is the road to Sheol,
descending to the chambers of death.(D)
Proverbs 23:27-28

and increases the number of unfaithful people.
