Proverbs 5:20


Proverbs 5:19 Proverbs 5:20 (KJV) Proverbs 5:21
[Let her be as] the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.
And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
For the ways of man [are] before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.
