Proverbs 7:22
He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;

Statim eam sequitur quasi bos ductus ad victimam, et quasi agnus lasciviens, et ignorans quod ad vincula stultus trahatur :
Vulgate
ὁ δὲ ἐπηκολούθησεν αὐτῇ κεπφωθείς, ὥσπερ δὲ βοῦς ἐπὶ σφαγὴν ἄγεται, καὶ ὥσπερ κύων ἐπὶ δεσμούς,
LXX
He goeth after her straightway, As an ox goeth to the slaughter, Or asone infetters to the correction of the fool;
