Proverbs 5:18-20
Amplified Bible

18 
Let your fountain (wife) be blessed [with the rewards of fidelity],
And rejoice in the wife of your youth.(A)
19 
Let her be as a loving hind and graceful doe,
Let her breasts refresh and satisfy you at all times;
Always be [a]exhilarated and delight in her love.
20 
Why should you, my son, be exhilarated with an immoral woman
And embrace the bosom of an outsider (pagan)?
