Proverbs 7:23 meaning and explanation
until an arrow pierces his liver, like a bird darting into a snare— not knowing it will cost him his life.
Proverbs 7:23, Berean Standard Bible

In Proverbs 7 a father warns his son against the seductive woman, telling a story he watched from his window: a naive young man drifts toward her house at twilight and is lured by her flattering words. Verse 23 pictures the outcome with three images of sudden ruin: an arrow piercing the liver, a bird darting into a snare, and the blunt note that he does not know it will cost him his life.
