Proverbs 5:21


Proverbs 5:20 Proverbs 5:21 (KJV) Proverbs 5:22
And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
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.
