Warning Against Adultery

²¹ For _x a man's ways are _y before the eyes of the Lord,
and he _z ponders ₁ all his paths.
²² The _a iniquities of the wicked _b ensnare him,
and he is held fast in the cords of his sin.
²³ _c He dies for lack of discipline,
and because of his great folly he is _d led astray.
