Proverbs 5:15-19
1599 Geneva Bible
15 ¶ Drink the water of [a]thy cistern, and of the rivers out of the midst of thine own well.
16 Let thy fountains flow forth, and the rivers of waters in the streets.
17 But let them be thine, even [b]thine only, and not the strangers with thee.
18 Let thy [c]fountain be blessed, and rejoice with the wife of thy [d]youth.
19 Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe: let her breasts satisfy thee at all times, and delight in her love continually.
