New International Reader's Version

Proverbs 5:18-22 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

18. May your fountain be blessed. May the wife you married when you were young make you happy.

19. She is like a loving doe, a graceful deer. May her breasts always satisfy you. May you always be captured by her love.

20. My son, why be captured by a woman who commits adultery? Why hug the wife of another man?

21. The Lord watches a man's ways. He studies all of his paths.

22. A sinner is trapped by his own evil acts. He is held tight by the ropes of his sins.
