or as a stag is caught fast,

till an arrow pierces its liver.

As a bird rushes into a snare, he does not know that it will cost him his life.

Oh God, give us grace to heed this warning. Do you see it here in this passage? How attractive

toward adultery in some way, like see it, see it for what it is.

You are like an ox being led to a slaughter.

Don't see that or stag, caught fast, so an arrow pierces its liver. You do not know it will cost you your life.
