Proverbs 5:15-19

¹⁵Drink water from your own cistern,

and running water from your own well.

¹⁶Why should your springs flow in the streets,

your streams of water in the public squares?

¹⁷Let them be yours alone,

never to be shared with strangers.

¹⁸May your fountain be blessed,

and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth:

¹⁹A loving doe, a graceful fawn—

may her breasts satisfy you always;

may you be captivated by her love forever.

— Proverbs 5:15-19
