Proverbs 5:18-22
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 5
18Let your fountain be blessed, And rejoice in the wife of your youth. 19 Like a loving doe and a graceful mountain goat, Let her breasts satisfy you at all times; Be exhilarated always with her love. 20For why should you, my son, be exhilarated with an adulteress, And embrace the breasts of a foreigner? 21For the ways of everyone are before the eyes of the Lord, And He observes all his paths. 22His own wrongdoings will trap the wicked, And he will be held by the ropes of his sin.King James Version
Chapter 5
18Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth. 19Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love. 20And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger? 21For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings. 22His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 5
18Let your fountain be blessed, and take pleasure in the wife of your youth. 19A loving deer, a graceful doe -- let her breasts always satisfy you; be lost in her love forever. 20Why, my son, would you lose yourself with a forbidden woman or embrace a wayward woman? 21For a man's ways are before the Lord's eyes, and he considers all his paths. 22A wicked man's iniquities will trap him; he will become tangled in the ropes of his own sin.New Living Translation
Chapter 5
18Let your wife be a fountain of blessing for you. Rejoice in the wife of your youth. 19She is a loving deer, a graceful doe. Let her breasts satisfy you always. May you always be captivated by her love. 20Why be captivated, my son, by an immoral woman, or fondle the breasts of a promiscuous woman?English Standard Version
Chapter 5
18Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth, 19a lovely deer, a graceful doe. Let her breasts fill you at all times with delight; be intoxicated always in her love. 20Why should you be intoxicated, my son, with a forbidden woman and embrace the bosom of an adulteress? 21For a man’s ways are before the eyes of the LORD, and he ponders all his paths. 22The iniquities of the wicked ensnare him, and he is held fast in the cords of his sin.New International Version
