Geneva Bible 1599
And he followed her straight wayes, as an oxe that goeth to the slaughter, and as a foole to the stockes for correction,
Darby Translation
He went after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, and as stocks [serve] for the correction of the fool;
Young's Literal Translation
He is going after her straightway, As an ox unto the slaughter he cometh, And as a fetter unto the chastisement of a fool,
Bible in Basic English
The simple man goes after her, like an ox going to its death, like a roe pulled by a cord;
21With her great persuasion she entices him; with her flattering lips she lures him.
23until an arrow pierces his liver, like a bird darting into a snare— not knowing it will cost him his life.
