Proverbs
Chapters 5:13-19
Amplified Bible
13I have not obeyed the voice of my teachers nor submitted and consented to those who instructed me.
14[The extent and boldness of] my sin involved almost all evil [in the estimation] of the congregation and the community.
15Drink waters out of your own cistern [of a pure marriage relationship], and fresh running waters out of your own well.
16Should your offspring be dispersed abroad as water brooks in the streets?
17[Confine yourself to your own wife] let your children be for you alone, and not the children of strangers with you.
18Let your fountain [of human life] be blessed [with the rewards of fidelity], and rejoice in the wife of your youth.
19Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant doe [tender, gentle, attractive]–let her bosom satisfy you at all times, and always be transported with delight in her love.
