15 Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.

16 Should thy springs be dispersed abroad, and streams of water in the streets?

17 Let them be for thyself alone, and not for strangers with thee.

18 Let thy fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of thy youth:

19 a loving hind and a pleasant doe. Let her breasts satisfy thee at all times, and be thou ravished always with her love.

20 For why should thou, my son, be ravished with an interloping woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
