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

16 Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, [and] rivers of [thy] waters in the streets.

17 Let them be only thine own and not for strangers with thee.

18 Thy fountain shall be blessed; and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.

19 [Let her be as] the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love, [without eyes for anyone else].

20 And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a woman belonging to someone else, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
