Proverbs 5:20 in Context (Verses 17–23 KJV)

Let them be only thine own, and not strangers’ with thee.

Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.

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.

¶ His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.^*

He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
