18. Let thy makor (fountain) be blessed; and rejoice with the isha of thy youth.
19. Let her be as the loving deer and graceful doe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou enraptured tamid (ever) with ahavat (love of) her.
20. And why wilt thou, beni (my son), be intoxicated with a zarah (strange woman), and embrace the kheyk (bosom) of a nochriyah (foreign [heathen] woman)?
21. For the drakhim ish are before the eyes of Hashem, and He pondereth all his ma'agalot (paths).
22. His own avonot shall entrap the rashah himself, and he shall be held fast by the cords of his chattat.
23. He shall die without musar; and in the greatness of his folly he shall be led astray.
