Proverbs5:22

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

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.

Marginal references: Chap. 11. 3▪ 5, 6.; Heb. sin.
