Proverbs 5:20-23
King James Version
20 And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, and he pondereth all his goings.
22 His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.
23 He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.

And He [a]ponders all his paths.

And he is caught in the cords of his sin.
23 (D)He shall die for lack of instruction,
And in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
