Proverbs 5:17-19

New Catholic Bible

¹⁷ Let them be for you alone
    and not be shared by strangers.
¹⁸ May your fountain be blessed,
    and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth:
¹⁹ a lovely deer, a graceful fawn—
    let her affection fill you with delight
    and ever hold you captive.^[a]
