Proverbs 5:22 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

In vain doth he think to disentangle himself from his lusts by repenting when he grows in years, and to escape punishments; for he is in perfect bondage to his lusts, and is neither able nor willing to set himself at liberty; and if he do escape the rage of a jealous husband, and the sentence of the magistrate, yet he shall be infallibly overtaken by the righteous judgment of God.

Proverbs 5:22

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