English Standard Version
15 Drink (A)water from your own cistern,
flowing water from your own well.
16 Should your (B)springs be scattered abroad,
streams of water (C)in the streets?
17 (D)Let them be for yourself alone,
and not for strangers with you.
18 Let your (E)fountain be blessed,
and (F)rejoice in (G)the wife of your youth,
19 a lovely (H)deer, a graceful doe.
Let her breasts (I)fill you at all times with delight;
be intoxicated[a] always in her love.
20 Why should you be intoxicated, my son, with (J)a forbidden woman
and embrace the bosom of (K)an adulteress?[b]
21 For (L)a man's ways are (M)before the eyes of the Lord,
and he (N)ponders[c] all his paths.
22 The (O)iniquities of the wicked (P)ensnare him,
and he is held fast in the cords of his sin.
23 (Q)He dies for lack of discipline,
and because of his great folly he is (R)led astray.

Why embrace the bosom of a wayward woman?

1 Corinthians 7:2-16
English Standard Version
1 Corinthians 7:2-16
English Standard Version
2 But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband. 3 (A)The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. 4 For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. 5 (B)Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, (C)so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
6 Now as a concession, (D)not a command, I say this.[a] 7 (E)I wish that all were (F)as I myself am. But (G)each has his own gift from God, (H)one of one kind and one of another.
8 To the unmarried and the widows I say that (I)it is good for them to remain single, (J)as I am. 9 But if they cannot exercise self-control, (K)they should marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
10 To the married (L)I give this charge (not I, but the Lord): (M)the wife should not separate from her husband 11 (but if she does, (N)she should remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband), and (O)the husband should not divorce his wife.
12 To the rest I say (I, not the Lord) that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he should not divorce her. 13 If any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever, and he consents to live with her, she should not divorce him. 14 For the unbelieving husband is made holy because of his wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy because of her husband. (P)Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy. 15 But if the unbelieving partner separates, let it be so. In such cases the brother or sister is not enslaved. God has called you[b] (Q)to peace. 16 For how do you know, wife, (R)whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?

2 But since sexual immorality is occurring, each man should have sexual relations with his own wife, and each woman with her own husband. 3 The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife,(A) and likewise the wife to her husband. 4 The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife. 5 Do not deprive each other except perhaps by mutual consent and for a time,(B) so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan(C) will not tempt you(D) because of your lack of self-control. 6 I say this as a concession, not as a command.(E) 7 I wish that all of you were as I am.(F) But each of you has your own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that.(G)
8 Now to the unmarried[a] and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I do.(H) 9 But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry,(I) for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
10 To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband.(J) 11 But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband.(K) And a husband must not divorce his wife.
12 To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord):(L) If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her. 13 And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him. 14 For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.(M)
15 But if the unbeliever leaves, let it be so. The brother or the sister is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace.(N) 16 How do you know, wife, whether you will save(O) your husband?(P) Or, how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?
