Proverbs

¹⁴So now I have suffered through just about every kind of trouble anyone can have, and everyone knows it.” ¹⁵Now, about sex and marriage: Drink only the water that comes from your own well, ¹⁶and don’t let your water flow out into the streets. ¹⁷Keep it for yourself, and don’t share it with strangers. ¹⁸Be happy with your own wife. Enjoy the woman you married while you were young. ¹⁹She is like a beautiful deer, a lovely fawn. Let her love satisfy you completely. Stay drunk on her love, ²⁰and don’t go stumbling into the arms of another woman.
