Should your springs flow in the streets,
streams of water in the public squares?

I was born
when there were no watery depths
and no springs filled with water.

When a king’s face lights up, there is life;
his favor is like a cloud with spring rain.

A righteous person who yields to the wicked
is like a muddied spring or a polluted well.

Drink water from your own cistern,
water flowing from your own well.

A generous person will be enriched,
and the one who gives a drink of water
will receive water.
