Proverbs 7:23–24

23 till an arrow pierces his liver,

like a bird darting into a snare,

little knowing it will cost him his life.

24 Now then, my sons, listen to me;

pay attention to what I say.

23 Till a dart strike through his liver;

As a bird hasteth to the snare,

And knoweth not that it is for his life.

24 Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children,

And attend to the words of my mouth.

23 awaiting the arrow that would pierce its heart.

He was like a bird flying into a snare,

little knowing it would cost him his life.

24 So listen to me, my sons,

and pay attention to my words.

23 Till an arrow struck his liver.

As a bird hastens to the snare,

He did not know it would cost his life.

24 Now therefore, listen to me, my children;

Pay attention to the words of my mouth:

23 and shot through the liver with an arrow.

Like a bird caught in a trap,

he didn’t know what he did would kill him.

24 Now, my sons, listen to me;

pay attention to what I say.

23 Till an arrow strike through his liver;

As a bird hasteth to the snare,

And knoweth not that it is for his life.

24 Now therefore, my sons, hearken unto me,

And attend to the words of my mouth.

23 till an arrow strike through his liver: as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for its life.

24 And now, ye sons, hearken unto me, and attend to the words of my mouth.

23 until an arrow pierces his heart, 

like a bird darting into a trap. 

He does not realize that it will cost him his life. 

24 Now, sons, 

listen to me. 

Pay attention to the words from my mouth. 

23 until an arrow pierces its liver,

like a bird darting into a snare —

he doesn’t know it will cost him his life.

24 Now, my sons, listen to me,

and pay attention to the words of my mouth.

23 until an arrow pierces its entrails.

He is like a bird rushing into a snare,

not knowing that it will cost him his life.

24 And now, my children, listen to me,

and be attentive to the words of my mouth.

23 until an arrow pierces his entrails,

like a bird rushing into a snare,

but he does not know that it will cost him his life.

24 And now, my children, listen to me,

and be attentive to the sayings of my mouth.

23 until an arrow struck its liver.

He was like a bird rushing into a trap.

Little did he know it would cost him his life!

24 My sons, listen to me.

Pay attention to what I say.

23 Until an arrow pierces through his liver;

As a bird hastens to the snare,

So he does not know that it will cost him his life.

24 Now therefore, my sons, listen to me,

And pay attention to the words of my mouth.
