Proverbs 5:17–19

17 Let them be yours alone,

never to be shared with strangers.

18 May your fountain be blessed,

and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth.

19 A loving doe, a graceful deer—

may her breasts satisfy you always,

may you ever be intoxicated with her love.

17 Let them be only thine own,

And not strangers’ with thee.

18 Let thy fountain be blessed:

And rejoice with the wife of thy youth.

19 Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe;

Let her breasts satisfy thee at all times;

And be thou ravished always with her love.

17 You should reserve it for yourselves.

Never share it with strangers.

18 Let your wife be a fountain of blessing for you.

Rejoice in the wife of your youth.

19 She is a loving deer, a graceful doe.

Let her breasts satisfy you always.

May you always be captivated by her love.

17 Let them be only your own,

And not for strangers with you.

18 Let your fountain be blessed,

And rejoice with the wife of your youth.

19 As a loving deer and a graceful doe,

Let her breasts satisfy you at all times;

And always be enraptured with her love.

17 These things are yours alone

and shouldn’t be shared with strangers.

18 Be happy with the wife you married when you were young.

She gives you joy, as your fountain gives you water.

19 She is as lovely and graceful as a deer.

Let her love always make you happy;

let her love always hold you captive.

17 Let them be for thyself alone,

And not for strangers with thee.

18 Let thy fountain be blessed;

And rejoice in the wife of thy youth.

19 As a loving hind and a pleasant doe,

Let her breasts satisfy thee at all times;

And be thou ravished always with her love.

17 Let them be only thine own, and not strangers’ with thee. 18 Let thy fountain be blessed; and have joy of the wife of thy youth. 19 As a lovely hind and a graceful roe, let her breasts satisfy thee at all times: be thou ravished continually with her love.

17 They should be yours alone, 

so do not share them with strangers. 

18 Let your own fountain be blessed, 

and enjoy the girl you married when you were young, 

19 a loving doe and a graceful deer.

Always let her breasts satisfy you. 

Always be intoxicated with her love. 

17 They should be for you alone

and not for you to share with strangers.

18 Let your fountain be blessed,

and take pleasure in the wife of your youth.

19 A loving doe, a graceful fawn—

let her breasts always satisfy you;

be lost in her love forever.

17 Let them be for yourself alone

and not for sharing with strangers.

18 Let your fountain be blessed,

and rejoice in the wife of your youth,

19 a lovely deer, a graceful doe.

May her breasts satisfy you at all times;

may you be intoxicated always by her love.

17 May they be yours alone,

and not for strangers who are with you.

18 May your fountain be blessed,

and rejoice in the wife of your youth.

19 She is a deer of love and a doe of grace;

may her breasts satisfy you always;

by her love may you be intoxicated continually.

17 No! Let them belong to you alone.

Never share them with strangers.

18 May your fountain be blessed.

May the wife you married when you were young make you happy.

19 She is like a loving doe, a graceful deer.

May her breasts always satisfy you.

May you always be captured by her love.

17 Let them be yours alone

And not for strangers with you.

18 Let your fountain be blessed,

And rejoice in the wife of your youth.

19 As a loving hind and a graceful doe,

Let her breasts satisfy you at all times;

Be exhilarated always with her love.
