Proverbs 5:18 Context
16Let thy fountaines bee dispersed abroad, and riuers of waters in the streets. 17Let them be onely thine owne, and not strangers with thee. 18Let thy fountaine be blessed: and reioyce with the wife of thy youth. 19Let her bee as the louing Hinde and pleasant Roe, let her breasts satisfie thee at all times, and be thou rauisht alwayes with her loue. 20And why wilt thou, my sonne, be rauisht with a strange woman, and imbrace the bosome of a stranger?
