“Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.”
Proverbs 7:23 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 7:23
Till an arrow pierces his liver, as a bird rushes into a snare, not knowing it will cost his life. The Hebrew 'chets' (arrow) and 'pach' (snare/trap) continue destruction imagery. Liver-piercing produces mortal wound. Bird flying into snare seeks food, finds death. Both images emphasize fatal consequences arising from ignorant pursuit of apparent goods. Seduction offers pleasure but delivers death. Fools see bait, not trap.
