Proverbs 5:19-23

English Standard Version

¹⁹     a lovely ^(A)deer, a graceful doe.
Let her breasts ^(B)fill you at all times with delight;
    be intoxicated^[a] always in her love.
²⁰ Why should you be intoxicated, my son, with ^(C)a forbidden woman
    and embrace the bosom of ^(D)an adulteress?^[b]
21 For ^(E)a man's ways are ^(F)before the eyes of the Lord,
    and he ^(G)ponders^[c] all his paths.
²² The ^(H)iniquities of the wicked ^(I)ensnare him,
    and he is held fast in the cords of his sin.
^23 (J)He dies for lack of discipline,
    and because of his great folly he is ^(K)led astray.
