¹⁵ Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.

¹⁸ Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.

¹⁹ Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.

²² Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord.

¹⁴ House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the Lord.
