21 For your ways are in full view of the Lord,

and he examines all your paths.

22 The evil deeds of the wicked ensnare them;

the cords of their sins hold them fast.

23 For lack of discipline they will die,

led astray by their own great folly.

21 For a man’s ways are before the eyes of the Lord,

and he ponders all his paths.

22 The iniquities of the wicked ensnare him,

and he is held fast in the cords of his sin.

23 He dies for lack of discipline,

and because of his great folly he is led astray.

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.

21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord,

And He ponders all his paths.

22 His own iniquities entrap the wicked man,

And he is caught in the cords of his sin.

23 He shall die for lack of instruction,

And in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.

21 The Lord sees everything you do,

and he watches where you go.

22 An evil man will be caught in his wicked ways;

the ropes of his sins will tie him up.

23 He will die because he does not control himself,

and he will be held captive by his foolishness.

21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of Jehovah;

And he maketh level all his paths.

22 His own iniquities shall take the wicked,

And he shall be holden with the cords of his sin.

23 He shall die for lack of instruction;

And in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.

21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of Jehovah, and he pondereth all his paths. 22 His own iniquities shall take the wicked, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sin. 23 He shall die for want of discipline; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.

21 Each person’s ways are clearly seen by the Lord, 

and he surveys all his actions. 

22 A wicked person will be trapped by his own wrongs, 

and he will be caught in the ropes of his own sin. 

23 He will die for his lack of discipline 

and stumble around because of his great stupidity. 

21 For a man’s ways are before the Lord’s eyes,

and He considers all his paths.

22 A wicked man’s iniquities entrap him;

he is entangled in the ropes of his own sin.

23 He will die because there is no discipline,

and be lost because of his great stupidity.

21 For human ways are under the eyes of the Lord,

and he examines all their paths.

22 The iniquities of the wicked ensnare them,

and they are caught in the toils of their sin.

23 They die for lack of discipline,

and because of their great folly they are lost.

21 For before the eyes of Yahweh are human ways,

and all his paths he examines.

22 His iniquities shall ensnare him, the evildoer,

and in the vanity of his sin he shall be caught.

23 He shall die for lack of discipline,

and in the greatness of his folly he shall be lost.

21 The Lord watches a man’s ways.

He studies all of his paths.

22 A sinner is trapped by his own evil acts.

He is held tight by the ropes of his sins.

23 He will die because he refused to be corrected.

His sins will capture him because he was very foolish.

21 For the ways of a man are before the eyes of the Lord,

And He watches all his paths.

22 His own iniquities will capture the wicked,

And he will be held with the cords of his sin.

23 He will die for lack of instruction,

And in the greatness of his folly he will go astray.
