Proverbs 5:15-18

^{Tools
15}

Drink water from your own cistern
And ^(a)fresh water from your own well.

^{Tools
16}

Should your ^(A)springs be dispersed abroad,
Streams of water in the streets?

^{Tools
17}

Let them be yours alone
And not for strangers with you.

^{Tools
18}

Let your ^(B)fountain be blessed,
And ^(C)rejoice in the ^(D)wife of your youth.
