His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.

Verse 22 is found in chapter 5 of Proverbs. The conclusion reminds the reader that the Lord observes human ways and knows every person’s paths. Moral discipline does not depend solely on external surveillance: disordered sexual conduct eventually ensnares the sinner himself. The language of the cords of his sin expresses a progressive dynamic of enslavement. Lack of discipline and correction ultimately leads to loss of freedom.

Die Missetat des Gottlosen wird ihn fangen, und er wird mit dem Strick seiner Sünde gehalten werden.
Prenderán al impío sus propias iniquidades, Y detenido será con las cuerdas de su pecado.
Le méchant est pris dans ses propres iniquités, Il est saisi par les liens de son péché.
Le iniquità dell’empio lo prenderanno, Ed egli sarà ritenuto con le funi del suo peccato.
Quanto ao ímpio, as suas iniqüidades o prenderão, e com as cordas do seu pecado será detido.
惡人被自己的罪孽抓住, 被自己罪惡的繩索纏繞。
