The naive

 

 

The naive (Prov. 7:7), who passes through the street near an adulteress’corner

and takes the way to her house (v. 8) in the twilight, in the evening (v. 9)

like a bird hastens to the snare (. 23), is tempted by her who dressed as a harlot (v. 10)

and who entices him with her many persuasions and with her flattering lips (v. 21)

and then follows her as an ox goes to the slaughter or as one in fetters to the discipline of a fool (v. 22).
