Proverbs

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. ²¹The Lord clearly sees everything you do. He watches where you go. ²²The sins of the wicked will trap them. Those sins will be like ropes holding them back.
