| 19 | A loving hind and a pleasant doe -- Let her breasts satisfy you at all times. Be captivated always with her love. | So 2:9 So 4:5 So 7:3 So 8:14 |
| 20 | For why should you, my son, be captivated with an adulteress? Why embrace the bosom of another? | Pr 2:16-19 Pr 6:24 Pr 7:5 Pr 22:14 Pr 23:27 Pr 23:28 Pr 23:33 1Ki 11:1 |
