Berean Standard Bible

Proverbs 5:18-21

18May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth:19A loving doe, a graceful fawn— may her breasts satisfy you always; may you be captivated1 by her love forever.20Why be captivated, my son, by an adulteress, or embrace the bosom of a stranger?221For a man’s ways are before the eyes of the LORD, and the LORD examines3 all his paths.
