How does sin trap us and hold us captive? (Proverbs 5:22-23)

22 
The evil deeds of the wicked ensnare them;
    the cords of their sins hold them fast.
23 
For lack of discipline they will die,
    led astray by their own great folly.

I agree with Bridges: Does a man think that he can give his sins up when he pleases? Repetition forms the habit. The habit becomes a ruling principle. ‘Every lust deals with him, as Delilah with Samson—not only robs him of his strength but leaves him fast bound.’ (Proverbs 5 Exposition)
