Proverbs 5:21

¹⁹ A loving doe, a graceful fawn— may her breasts satisfy you always; may you be captivated by her love forever.

²⁰ Why be captivated, my son, by an adulteress, or embrace the bosom of a stranger?

For a man’s ways are before the eyes of the LORD, and the LORD examines all his paths.

²² The iniquities of a wicked man entrap him; the cords of his sin entangle him.

²³ He dies for lack of discipline, led astray by his own great folly.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
