15 Drink water from your own cistern
    and flowing waters from inside your own well.
16 Shall your springs be scattered outward?
    In the streets, shall there be streams of water?
17 May they be yours alone,
    and not for strangers who are with you.
18 May your fountain be blessed,
    and rejoice in the wife[a] of your youth.
19 She is a deer of love and a doe of grace;
    may her breasts satisfy you always;[b]
    by her love may you be intoxicated continually.
