Proverbs 5:15-19
Legacy Standard Bible
15 Drink water from your own cistern
And [a]fresh water from your own well.
16 Should your (A)springs be dispersed abroad,
Streams of water in the streets?
17 Let them be for you alone,
And not for strangers with you.
18 Let your (B)fountain be blessed,
And (C)be glad in the (D)wife of your youth.
19 As a loving (E)hind and a graceful doe,
Let her breasts satisfy you at all times;
Be [b]intoxicated always with her love.

Proverbs 5:15-19
Common English Bible
15 Drink water from your own cistern,
gushing water from your own well.
16 Should your fountains flood outside,
streams of water in the public squares?
17 They are yours alone,
not for you as well as strangers.
18 May your spring be blessed.
Rejoice in the wife of your youth.
19 She is a lovely deer, a graceful doe.
Let her breasts intoxicate you all the time;
always be drunk on her love.
