He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;
La sigue inmediatamente, como un buey que va al matadero, o como un necio que camina hacia el castigo en el cepo.
El joven sigue a la mujer adúltera sin pensar, como un animal que va directo a su destrucción.
📚 Contexto Histórico
This verse comes from a longer passage where a father warns his son about the dangers of adultery by describing a scene he witnessed from his window. The 'stocks' were wooden restraints used to publicly punish criminals in ancient times, holding their feet and sometimes hands immobile. The comparison to an ox going to slaughter emphasizes how the young man is completely oblivious to his fate, just as animals don't understand what awaits them.
