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.

22His own iniquities will capture the wicked,

And he will be held with the cords 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.

22Sinners are trapped by their own evil acts.

They are held tight by the ropes of their sins.
