19 aAs a loving deer and a graceful doe,
Let her breasts satisfy you at all times;
And always be1 enraptured with her love.
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?
And be embraced in the arms of a seductress?

Proverbs 5:19-20
He is talking about the wife of our youth. If you have the King James Version, rather than using "a deer" it will probably use "a hind" or "a hart." The hind is the female and the hart is the male of the deer family. We have here two very interesting similes and they are used frequently. At least one time "hart" is used of Christ.
