Proverbs 5:18-23 New English Translation (NET)

18. May your fountain be blessed,and may you rejoice in your young wife –

19. a loving doe, a graceful deer;may her breasts satisfy you at all times,may you be captivated by her love always.

20. But why should you be captivated, my son, by an adulteress,and embrace the bosom of a different woman?

21. For the ways of a person are in front of the Lord’s eyes,and the Lord weighs all that person’s paths.

22. The wicked will be captured by his own iniquities,and he will be held by the cords of his own sin.

23. He will die because there was no discipline;because of the greatness of his folly he will reel.
