Proverbs 5:15-20

Expanded Bible

¹⁵ ·Be faithful to your own wife [^LDrink water from your own well; Song 4:10–15],
    ·just as you drink [^Lgushing] water from your own ·well [cistern].
¹⁶ Don’t ·pour your water in the streets [^Llet your fountains burst forth outside];
    ·don’t give your love to just any woman [^Lstreams of water in the public squares].
¹⁷ These things are yours alone
    and shouldn’t be shared with strangers.
¹⁸ ·Be happy with the wife you married when you were young [^LRejoice in the wife of your youth].
    ·She gives you joy, as your fountain gives you water [^LMay your spring be blessed].
¹⁹ She is a lovely deer and a graceful doe.
    Let her ·love [or breasts] always make you happy;
    let her love always ·hold you captive [intoxicate/inebriate you; Song 4:10].
²⁰ My son, ·don’t be held captive [^Lwhy should you be intoxicated/inebriated…?] by a ·woman who takes part in adultery [^Lstranger].
    Don’t fondle the bosom of a ·woman who is not your wife [^Lforeigner].
