Proverbs 5:15-23 - Enjoy Marriage

¹⁵
Drink water from your own cistern [of a pure marriage relationship]
And fresh running water from your own well.
¹⁶
Should your springs (children) be dispersed,
As streams of water in the streets?
¹⁷
[Confine yourself to your own wife.] Let your children be yours alone,
And not the children of strangers with you.
¹⁸
Let your fountain (wife) be blessed [with the rewards of fidelity],
And rejoice in the wife of your youth.
¹⁹
Let her be as a loving hind and graceful doe,
Let her breasts refresh and satisfy you at all times;
Always be exhilarated and delight in her love.
²⁰
Why should you, my son, be exhilarated with an immoral woman
And embrace the bosom of an outsider (pagan)?
²¹
For the ways of man are directly before the eyes of the Lord,
And He carefully watches all of his paths [all of his comings and goings].
²²
The iniquities done by a wicked man will trap him,
And he will be held with the cords of his sin.
²³
He will die for lack of instruction (discipline),
And in the greatness of his foolishness he will go astray and be lost.
