Proverbs 5:18-23

18 Let your ^afountain be blessed,
and ^brejoice in ^cthe wife of your youth,
19 a lovely ^ddeer, a graceful doe.
Let her breasts ^efill you at all times with delight;
be intoxicated ^{▼▼Hebrew be led astray; also verse 20} always in her love.
20 Why should you be intoxicated, my son, with ^ga forbidden woman
and embrace the bosom of ^han adulteress? ^{▼▼Hebrew a foreign woman}
21 For ^ja man’s ways are ^kbefore the eyes of the Lord,
and he ^lponders ^{▼▼Or makes level} all his paths.
22 The ⁿiniquities of the wicked ^oensnare him,
and he is held fast in the cords of his sin.
23 ^pHe dies for lack of discipline,
and because of his great folly he is ^qled astray.
