Proverbs 5:17-23

5:17

Let them be only thine own, and not strangers
<02114> (8801)_'

with thee.

5:18

Let thy fountain
<04726>

be blessed
<01288> (8803)_:

and rejoice
<08055> (8798)

with the wife
<0802>

of thy youth
<05271>_.

5:19

[Let her be as] the loving
<0158>

hind
<0365>

and pleasant
<02580>

roe
<03280>_;

let her breasts
<01717>

satisfy
<07301> (8762)

thee at all times
<06256>_;

and be thou ravished
<07686> (8799)

always
<08548>

with her love
<0160>_.

{satisfy...: Heb. water thee} {be thou...: Heb. err thou always in her love}

5:20

And why wilt thou, my son
<01121>_,

be ravished
<07686> (8799)

with a strange woman
<02114> (8801)_,

and embrace
<02263> (8762)

the bosom
<02436>

of a stranger
<05237>_?

5:21

For the ways
<01870>

of man
<0376>

[are] before
<05227>

the eyes
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and he pondereth
<06424> (8764)

all his goings
<04570>_.

5:22

His own iniquities
<05771>

shall take
<03920> (8799)

the wicked
<07563>

himself, and he shall be holden
<08551> (8735)

with the cords
<02256>

of his sins
<02403>_.

{sins: Heb. sin}

5:23

He shall die
<04191> (8799)

without instruction
<04148>_;

and in the greatness
<07230>

of his folly
<0200>

he shall go astray
<07686> (8799)_.
