18. May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth.
19. A loving doe, a graceful deer— may her breasts satisfy you always, may you ever be intoxicated with her love.
20. Why, my son, be intoxicated with another man’s wife? Why embrace the bosom of a wayward woman?
21. For your ways are in full view of the Lord, and he examines all your paths.
22. The evil deeds of the wicked ensnare them; the cords of their sins hold them fast.
23. For lack of discipline they will die, led astray by their own great folly.
