A Bible Verse for Valentine's Day

[Yoder777]

Proverbs 5:18-19


18 May your fountain be blessed,
and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth.
19 A loving doe, a graceful deer—
may her breasts satisfy you always,
may you ever be intoxicated with her love.


I have never heard this read in a church. I wonder why.

19 A loving doe, a graceful deer—

Probably for the same reason we hear little of the Song of Songs .

I hear my beloved .
See how he comes
leaping on the mountains ,
bounding over the hills .
My beloved is like a gazelle ,
like a young stag . ( 2:8-9 ) .

This is the Bible verse I actually included in her card:

Proverbs 31
10 [a]A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.
11 Her husband has full confidence in her
and lacks nothing of value.
