New Testament

Proverbs 5:16-23 Common English Bible (CEB)

16. Should your fountains flood outside,streams of water in the public squares?

17. They are yours alone,not for you as well as strangers.

18. May your spring be blessed.Rejoice in the wife of your youth.

19. She is a lovely deer, a graceful doe.Let her breasts intoxicate you all the time;always be drunk on her love.

20. Why, my son, should you lose your senses with a mysterious womanand embrace the breasts of a foreign female?

21. The Lord’s eyes watch over every person’s path,observing all their ways.

22. The wicked will be caught by their own evil acts,grabbed by the ropes of their own sin.

23. Those without instruction will die,misled by their own stupidity.
