Proverbs 5:20

18 Let your fountain be blessed,
And rejoice with ^athe wife of your youth.

19 ^aAs a loving deer and a graceful doe,
Let her breasts satisfy you at all times;
And always be¹ enraptured with her love.

20 For why should you, my son, be enraptured by ^aan immoral woman,
And be embraced in the arms of a seductress?

21 ^aFor the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord,
And He¹ ponders all his paths.

22 ^aHis own iniquities entrap the wicked man,
And he is caught in the cords of his sin.
