Proverbs 5:17
Compare all
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.

Proverbs 5:17

Let them be only thine own - The off-spring of a legitimate connection; a bastard brood, however numerous, is no credit to any man.
