Proverbs 5:22

22 An evil man is held captive by his own sins; they are ropes that catch and hold him.

Proverbs 5:22 In-Context

20 Why be captivated, my son, by an immoral woman, or fondle the breasts of a promiscuous woman?
21 For the LORD sees clearly what a man does, examining every path he takes.
22 An evil man is held captive by his own sins; they are ropes that catch and hold him.
23 He will die for lack of self-control; he will be lost because of his great foolishness.
