Proverbs 5:15-21

Tree of Life Version

¹⁵ Drink water from your own cistern
and running water from your own well.
¹⁶ Should your springs flow in the streets,
your streams of water in public squares?
¹⁷ Let them be yours alone
and not shared with strangers.
¹⁸ May your fountain be blessed
and may you delight in the wife of your youth.
¹⁹ A lovely hind, a graceful doe—
may her breasts satisfy you always,
may you always be captivated by her love.
²⁰ Why, my son, be captivated by a seducing woman?
Why embrace a foreigner’s bosom?
