	AMP Amplified Bible	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
20	Why should you, my son, be exhilarated with an immoral woman And embrace the bosom of an outsider (pagan)?	Why should you be intoxicated, my son, with a forbidden woman and embrace the bosom of an adulteress?	Why, my son, be intoxicated with another man’s wife? Why embrace the bosom of a wayward woman?
21	For the ways of man are directly before the eyes of the LORD, And He carefully watches all of his paths [all of his comings and goings].	For a man’s ways are before the eyes of the LORD, and he ponders all his paths.	For your ways are in full view of the LORD, and he examines all your paths.
22	The iniquities done by a wicked man will trap him, And he will be held with the cords of his sin.	The iniquities of the wicked ensnare him, and he is held fast in the cords of his sin.	The evil deeds of the wicked ensnare them; the cords of their sins hold them fast.
23	He will die for lack of instruction (discipline), And in the greatness of his foolishness he will go astray and be lost.	He dies for lack of discipline, and because of his great folly he is led astray.	For lack of discipline they will die, led astray by their own great folly.
