Now then, sons, listen to me, and pay attention to the words of my mouth.
In context
22All at once he follows her, like an ox going to the slaughter, like a fettered man to the discipline of the senseless, 23until an arrow splits his liver; like a bird rushing into a trap, not knowing it will cost him his life. 24Now then, sons, listen to me, and pay attention to the words of my mouth. 25Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways; do not stray onto her pathways; 26for many are the victims she has brought down, and countless all those she has slain.
