21Each person’s ways are clearly seen by the Lord,
and he surveys all his actions.
22A wicked person will be trapped by his own wrongs,
and he will be caught in the ropes of his own sin.
23He will die for his lack of discipline
and stumble around because of his great stupidity.

For a man’s ways are before the eyes of the Lord,
and he ponders all his paths.
The iniquities of the wicked ensnare him,
and he is held fast in the cords of his sin.
He dies for lack of discipline,
and because of his great folly he is led astray.

NIVNew International Version (2011)
For your ways are in full view of the Lord,
and he examines all your paths.
The evil deeds of the wicked ensnare them;
the cords of their sins hold them fast.
For lack of discipline they will die,
led astray by their own great folly.

For a man’s ways are before the Lord’s eyes,
and he considers all his paths.
A wicked man’s iniquities will trap him;
he will become tangled in the ropes of his own sin.
He will die because there is no discipline,
and be lost because of his great stupidity.

For the Lord sees clearly what a man does,
examining every path he takes.
An evil man is held captive by his own sins;
they are ropes that catch and hold him.
He will die for lack of self-control;
he will be lost because of his great foolishness.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
For before the eyes of Yahweh are human ways,
and all his paths he examines.
His iniquities shall ensnare him, the evildoer,
and in the vanity of his sin he shall be caught.
He shall die for lack of discipline,
and in the greatness of his folly he shall be lost.

KJV 1900King James Version
For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord,
And he pondereth all his goings.
His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself,
And he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.
He shall die without instruction;
And in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
