from ^lthe adulteress² with her smooth words.

21  With much seductive speech she persuades him;

with ^gher smooth talk she compels him.

22  All at once he follows her,

as an ox goes to the slaughter,

or as a stag is caught fast¹

27  Cease to hear instruction, my son,

^vand you will stray from the words of knowledge.
