Proverbs 5:16

14 I was on the verge of total ruin,
In the midst of the assembly and congregation.”

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

16 Should your fountains be dispersed abroad,
¹Streams of water in the streets?

17 Let them be only your own,
And not for strangers with you.

18 Let your fountain be blessed,
And rejoice with ^athe wife of your youth.

19 ^aAs a loving deer and a graceful doe,
Let her breasts satisfy you at all times;
And always be¹ enraptured with her love.

20 For why should you, my son, be enraptured by ^aan immoral woman,
And be embraced in the arms of a seductress?
