Proverbs 5:20-23
English Standard Version
20 Why should you be intoxicated, my son, with (A)a forbidden woman
and embrace the bosom of (B)an adulteress?[a]
21 For (C)a man's ways are (D)before the eyes of the Lord,
and he (E)ponders[b] all his paths.
22 The (F)iniquities of the wicked (G)ensnare him,
and he is held fast in the cords of his sin.
23 (H)He dies for lack of discipline,
and because of his great folly he is (I)led astray.
