Proverbs 5:15-20

GNT

NIV

15 Be faithful to your own wife and give your love to her alone.
15 Drink water from your own cistern, running water from your own well.
16 Children that you have by other women will do you no good.
16 Should your springs overflow in the streets, your streams of water in the public squares?
17 Your children should grow up to help you, not strangers.
17 Let them be yours alone, never to be shared with strangers.
18 So be happy with your wife and find your joy with the woman you married -
18 May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth.
19 pretty and graceful as a deer. Let her charms keep you happy; let her surround you with her love.
19 A loving doe, a graceful deer— may her breasts satisfy you always, may you ever be intoxicated with her love.
20 Son, why should you give your love to another woman? Why should you prefer the charms of another man's wife?
20 Why, my son, be intoxicated with another man’s wife? Why embrace the bosom of a wayward woman?
