16 Should your springs flow in the streets, your streams of water in public squares?
17 Let them be yours alone and not shared with strangers.
18 May your fountain be blessed and may you delight in the wife of your youth.
19 A lovely hind, a graceful doe— may her breasts satisfy you always, may you always be captivated by her love.
20 Why, my son, be captivated by a seducing woman? Why embrace a foreigner’s bosom?
21 For a man’s ways are before the eyes of Adonai, and He observes all his paths.
22 The iniquities of a wicked man will ensnare him. The cords of his sin will hold him down.
