Proverbios 5:18 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 5:18

Let thy fountain be blessed
Thy wife; make her happy by keeping to her and from others; by behaving in a loving, affable, and respectful manner to her; by living comfortably with her, and providing well for her and her children: or reckon her a happiness, a blessing that God has bestowed; or

``thy fountain shall be blessed,''

as the Targum; that is, with a numerous offspring, which was always reckoned a blessedness, and was generally the happiness of virtuous women, when harlots were barren; and rejoice with the wife of thy youth;
taken to be a wife in youth, and lived with ever since; do not despise her, nor divorce her, even in old age, but delight in her company now as ever; carry it not morosely and churlishly to her, but express a joy and pleasure in her; see ( Ecclesiastes 9:9 ) ( Malachi 2:14 Malachi 2:15 ) . Jarchi interprets this of the law learned in youth; but it might be much better interpreted of the pure apostolic church of Christ, "the beulah", to whom her sons are married, ( Isaiah 62:4 Isaiah 62:5 ) ; to whom they should cleave with delight and pleasure, and not follow the antichristian harlot.

Proverbios 5:18 In-Context

16 ¿Para qué derramar por las calles el agua de tus manantiales
teniendo sexo con cualquiera?

17 Deben reservarla solo para los dos;
jamás la compartan con desconocidos.

18 Que tu esposa sea una fuente de bendición para ti.
Alégrate con la esposa de tu juventud.

19 Es una cierva amorosa, una gacela llena de gracia.
Que sus pechos te satisfagan siempre.
Que siempre seas cautivado por su amor.

20 Hijo mío, ¿por qué dejarte cautivar por una mujer inmoral
o acariciar los pechos de una mujer promiscua?
