Proverbs 5:15-21
15Drink water from your own cistern And 1fresh water from your own well.16Should your 2springs be dispersed abroad, Streams of water in the streets?17Let them be yours alone And not for strangers with you.18Let your 3fountain be blessed, And 4rejoice in the 5wife of your youth.19As a loving 6hind and a graceful doe, Let her breasts satisfy you at all times; Be 7exhilarated always with her love.20For why should you, my son, be exhilarated with an 89adulteress And embrace the bosom of a 10foreigner?21For the 11ways of a man are before the eyes of the Lord, And He 12watches all his paths.
