Proverbs 5:19 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 5:19

17 Let them be only your own,
And not for strangers with you.

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.

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.
