Amplified Bible
Proverbs 5:15-21
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)?
21For the ways of man are directly before the eyes of the Lord, And He carefully watches all of his paths [all of his comings and goings].
