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.
23 He will die for lack of discipline, led astray by his own great folly.
