| 18 | Thy fountain shall be blessed: and rejoice from the wife of thy youth. | Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth, | May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth. | |
| 19 | The hind of loves and the wild goat of grace; her breasts shall satiate thee in all time; thou shalt always wander in her loves. | a lovely deer, a graceful doe. Let her breasts fill you at all times with delight; be intoxicated always in her love. | A loving doe, a graceful deer— may her breasts satisfy you always, may you ever be intoxicated with her love. | |
| 20 | And wherefore, my son, wilt thou wander with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger? | Why should you be intoxicated, my son, with a forbidden woman and embrace the bosom of an adulteress? | Why, my son, be intoxicated with another man’s wife? Why embrace the bosom of a wayward woman? | |
