19. A loving doe, a graceful fawn —let her breasts always satisfy you; be lost in her love forever.
20. Why, my son, would you be infatuatedwith a forbidden womanor embrace the breast of a stranger?
21. For a man’s ways are before the Lord’s eyes, and He considers all his paths.
22. A wicked man’s iniquities entrap him; he is entangled in the ropes of his own sin.
23. He will die because there is no discipline, and be lost because of his great stupidity.
