Proverbs 5:15-20

15 Drink waters out of thine own cistern, Even flowing ones out of thine own well.

15 Drink water from your own cistern, running water from your own well.

16 Let thy fountains be scattered abroad, In broad places rivulets of waters.

16 Should your springs overflow in the streets, your streams of water in the public squares?

17 Let them be to thee for thyself, And not to strangers with thee.

17 Let them be yours alone, never to be shared with strangers.

18 Let thy fountain be blessed, And rejoice because of the wife of thy youth,

18 May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth.

19 A hind of loves, and a roe of grace! Let her loves satisfy thee at all times, In her love magnify thyself continually.

19 A loving doe, a graceful deer— may her breasts satisfy you always, may you ever be intoxicated with her love.

20 And why dost thou magnify thyself, My son, with a stranger? And embrace the bosom of a strange woman?

20 Why, my son, be intoxicated with another man’s wife? Why embrace the bosom of a wayward woman?
