Proverbs 5:21
Compare all
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. 
23 aHe shall die for lack of instruction,
And in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
