Proverbs 5:19-21

New Catholic Bible

¹⁹ a lovely deer, a graceful fawn—
    let her affection fill you with delight
    and ever hold you captive.^[a]
20 Why then be seduced by another man’s wife, my son,
    and succumb to the embraces of an adulteress?
²¹ For each man’s ways are observed by the Lord,
    and he examines each man’s paths.
