Let her loves satisfy thee at all times, In her love magnify thyself continually. 20 And why dost thou magnify thyself, My son, with a stranger? And embrace the bosom of a strange woman? 21 For over-against the eyes of Jehovah are the ways of each, And all his paths He is pondering. 22 His own iniquities do capture the wicked, And with the ropes of his sin he is holden. 23 He dieth without instruction, And in the abundance of his folly magnifieth himself!
