Commentary for Proverbs 7:22
ה֤וֹלֵ֥ךְ אַחֲרֶ֗יהָ פִּ֫תְאֹ֥ם כְּ֭שׁוֹר אֶל־טָ֣בַח יָב֑וֹא וּ֝כְעֶ֗כֶס אֶל־מוּסַ֥ר אֱוִֽיל׃
He goeth after her straightway, As an ox that goeth to the slaughter, Or as one in fetters to the correction of the fool;
Rashi on Proverbs
and as a viper Heb. וכעכס. This is the venom of a snake.

Rashi on Proverbs
to the chastisement of a fool Like a snake that runs quickly as an agent of the Holy One, blessed be He, to chastise the fool who is condemned by the Omnipresent, blessed be He, so does this one run after her until he stumbles on her, and her arrow splits his liver.
