Proverbs 5:15-20 (Revised Standard Version)
View In My Bible
15
Drink water from your own cistern, flowing water from your own well.
16
Should your springs be scattered abroad, streams of water in the streets?
17
Let them be for yourself alone, and not for strangers with you.
18
Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth,
19
a lovely hind, a graceful doe. Let her affection fill you at all times with delight, be infatuated always with her love.
20
Why should you be infatuated, my son, with a loose woman and embrace the bosom of an adventuress?
