Proverbs 5:19-21
American Standard Version
19 As a loving hind and a pleasant doe,
Let her breasts satisfy thee at all times;
And [a]be thou ravished always with her love.
20 For why shouldest thou, my son, [b]be ravished with a strange woman,
And embrace the bosom of a foreigner?
21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of Jehovah;
And he [c]maketh level all his paths.

New International Version

may her breasts satisfy you always,
may you ever be intoxicated with her love.

Why embrace the bosom of a wayward woman?
