	CSB Christian Standard Bible	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
20	Why, my son, would you lose yourself with a forbidden woman or embrace a wayward woman?	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 a man’s ways are before the LORD’s eyes, and he considers all his paths.	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	A wicked man’s iniquities will trap him; he will become tangled in the ropes of his own 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 because there is no discipline, and be lost because of his great stupidity.	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.
