17. Let them be yours alone,never to be shared with strangers.
18. May your fountain be blessed,and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth.
19. A loving doe, a graceful deer –may her breasts satisfy you always,may you ever be intoxicated with her love.
20. Why, my son, be intoxicated with another man’s wife?Why embrace the bosom of a wayward woman?
21. For your ways are in full view of the Lord,and he examines all your paths.
22. The evil deeds of the wicked ensnare them;the cords of their sins hold them fast.
23. For lack of discipline they will die,led astray by their own great folly.
