Wesley's Notes for Proverbs 5:20

5:18 Fountain - Thy wife. Blessed - With children; for barrenness was esteemed a curse among the Israelites.

5:19 Satisfy thee - At all convenient times: for that there may be excess in the marriage - bed is manifest. Ravished - Love her fervently. It is an hyperbolical expression.

5:22 Holden - He is in perfect bondage to his lusts, and is neither able nor wiling to set himself at liberty.
