Proverbs 5:19
Compare all
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

Better, "A loving hind (is she) and pleasant roe." As in the whole circle of Arab and Persian poetry the antelope and the gazelle are the chosen images of beauty, so they served with equal fitness for the masculine and feminine types of it. (Compare the names Tabitha and Dorcas Acts 9:36.
