Amplified Bible
Proverbs 5:15-20
15Drink water from your own cistern [of a pure marriage relationship] And fresh running water from your own well.
16Should your springs (children) be dispersed, As streams of water in the streets?
17[Confine yourself to your own wife.] Let your children be yours alone, And not the children of strangers with you.
18Let your fountain (wife) be blessed [with the rewards of fidelity], And rejoice in the wife of your youth.
19Let her be as a loving hind and graceful doe, Let her breasts refresh and satisfy you at all times; Always be exhilarated and delight in her love.
20Why should you, my son, be exhilarated with an immoral woman And embrace the bosom of an outsider (pagan)?
