Untilan arrowpiercesthroughhis liver;As a birdhastensto the snare,So he does not knowthat it [will cost him] his life.
Indeed,it is uselessto spreadthe [baited] netIn the sightof anybird;
For on accountof a harlot[one is reduced] to a loafof bread,And an adulteresshuntsfor the preciouslife.
The one who commitsadulterywith a womanis lackingsense;He who would destroyhimselfdoesit.
Suddenlyhe followsher As an oxgoesto the slaughter,Or as [one in] fettersto the disciplineof a fool,
But he does not knowthat the deadare there,[That] her guestsare in the depthsof Sheol.
And I discoveredmorebitterthandeaththe womanwhoseheartis snaresand nets,whose handsare chains.Onewhois pleasingto Godwill escapefrom her, but the sinnerwill be capturedby her.
Moreover,mandoes not knowhis time:like fishcaughtin a treacherousnetand birdstrappedin a snare,so the sonsof menare ensnaredat an eviltimewhen it suddenlyfallson them.
