In context

19Let thy loving hart and thy graceful colt company with thee, And let her be considered thine own, and be with thee at all times; For ravished with her love thou shalt be greatly increased.

20Be not intimate with a strange woman, Neither fold thyself in the arms of a woman not thine own.

— Proverbs 5:21 —

22Iniquities ensnare a man, And every one is bound in the chains of his own sins.

23Such a man dies with the uninstructed; And he is cast forth from the abundance of his own substance, And has perished through folly.
