Prov. 7:21 “With much seductive speech she persuades him; with her smooth talk she compels him. 22 All at once he follows her, as an ox goes to the slaughter, or as a stag is caught fast 23 till an arrow pierces its liver; as a bird rushes into a snare; he does not know that it will cost him his life.”

Today, I want to look very rapidly at the “much seductive speech” Temptation uses to persuade us to follow her as an ox goes unwittingly to the slaughter. There is a full exposition of it in the 10 verses immediately preceding.
