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

16 So will thy springs overflow abroad; and in the open streets will be thy rivulets of water;

17 They will be thy own only, and not those of strangers with thee.

18 Thy fountain will be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth,

19 The lovely gazelle and the graceful chamois: let her bosom satisfy thee abundantly at all times; with her love be thou ravished continually.

20 And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with an adulteress, and embrace the bosom of an alien woman?
