New International Version (NIV)

22The evil deeds of the wicked ensnare them;

the cords of their sins hold them fast.

22His own wrongdoings will trap the wicked,

And he will be held by the ropes of his sin.

22The iniquities done by a wicked man will trap him,

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

22The iniquities of a wicked man entrap him;

the cords of his sin entangle him.

22His own iniquities shall take the wicked,

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

22His owne iniquities shall take the wicked himselfe, and he shall be holden with the cordes of his owne sinne.

22The evil deeds of the wicked ensnare him.

The cords of his sin hold him firmly.

22Sinners are trapped by their own evil acts.

They are held tight by the ropes of their sins.

22The sins of a wicked person will be the trap that catches him. They will hold him like strong ropes.

22His own iniquities capture the wicked, || And he is holden with the ropes of his sin.
