Proverbs 5:22
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
The iniquities of a wicked man entrap him; the cords of his sin entangle him.
In context
20 Why be captivated, my son, by an adulteress, or embrace the bosom of a stranger?
21 For a man’s ways are before the eyes of the LORD, and the LORD examines all his paths.
22 The iniquities of a wicked man entrap him; the cords of his sin entangle him.
23 He dies for lack of discipline, led astray by his own great folly.
