Proverbs
Chapters 5:16-22
New International Version Anglicized
16Should your springs overflow in the streets,your streams of water in the public squares?
17Let them be yours alone,never to be shared with strangers.
18May your fountain be blessed,and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth.
19A loving doe, a graceful deer –may her breasts satisfy you always,may you ever be intoxicated with her love.
20Why, my son, be intoxicated with another man’s wife?Why embrace the bosom of a wayward woman?
21For your ways are in full view of the Lord,and he examines all your paths.
22The evil deeds of the wicked ensnare them;the cords of their sins hold them fast.
