Proverbs 5:12-20 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

12. and thou say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof!

13. and I have not hearkened unto the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to those that instructed me;

14. I was well nigh in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.

15. Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.

16. Thy fountains shall be poured forth, as water-brooks in the broadways.

17. Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee.

18. Let thy fountain be blessed; and have joy of the wife of thy youth.

19. As a lovely hind and a graceful roe, let her breasts satisfy thee at all times: be thou ravished continually with her love.

20. And why shouldest thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
