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.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 19 is found in chapter 5 of Proverbs. The teaching shifts from prohibition to a positive affirmation of marital faithfulness. The image of drinking water from one’s own cistern communicates exclusivity, satisfaction, and care within a legitimate relationship. The wife of one’s youth is presented as a source of joy and delight. Thus, Proverbs does not treat sexuality only as a moral danger, but also as a gift to be enjoyed within faithfulness.

Sie ist lieblich wie die Hinde und holdselig wie ein Reh. Laß dich ihre Liebe allezeit sättigen und ergötze dich allewege in ihrer Liebe.
Como cierva amada y graciosa corza, Sus pechos te satisfagan en todo tiempo; Y en su amor recréate siempre.
Biche des amours, gazelle pleine de grâce: Sois en tout temps enivré de ses charmes, Sans cesse épris de son amour.
Siati ella una cerva amorosa, ed una cavriuola graziosa; Inebbrinti le sue mammelle in ogni tempo; Sii del continuo invaghito del suo amore.
Como cerva amorosa, e gazela graciosa, os seus seios te saciem todo o tempo; e pelo seu amor sejas atraído perpetuamente.
她如可愛的母鹿,如優美的母羊, 願她的胸懷使你時時滿足, 願你常常迷戀她的愛情。
