My son, keep my words and store up my commands within you

 Proverbs 7:1-27

My son, keep my words and store up my commands within you. Keep my commands and you will live; guard my teachings as the apple of your eye. Bind them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart. Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,” and to insight, “You are my relative.” They will keep you from the adulterous woman, from the wayward woman with her seductive words.

With persuasive words she led him astrayshe seduced him with her smooth talk. All at once he followed her like an ox going to the slaughter, like a deer[a] stepping into a noose till an arrow pierces his liver, like a bird darting into a snare,little knowing it will cost him his life

With persuasive words she led him astray; she seduced him with her smooth talk.
All at once he followed her like an ox going to the slaughter,

Why?

The evil or the cheating always looks nice and beautiful, very attractive in image and sound.

But it is a trap like an ox going to the slaughter.

Remember the word of the Lord and put it in our hearts it looks foolish but the real intelligence is to obey the word of the Lord.

How?

Give thanks to the Lord, I can make it by the grace of the Lord, to implement the mission impossible through the wisdom of the Lord.
