18 Let your fountain be blessed,
and take pleasure in the wife of your youth. 5:18 Ec 9:9; Mal 2:14
19 A loving deer, a graceful doe 5:19 Or graceful mountain goat —
let her breasts always satisfy you; 5:19 Sg 4:5
be lost in her love forever.
20 Why, my son, would you lose yourself
with a forbidden woman
or embrace a wayward woman? 5:20 Pr 2:16
