Prov.5.15-Prov.5.23
Explore this passage in the graph15Drink water from your own cistern,
flowing water from your own well. 16Should your springs be scattered abroad,
streams of water in the streets? 17Let them be for yourself alone,
and not for strangers with you. 18Let your fountain be blessed,
and rejoice in the wife of your youth, 19a lovely deer, a graceful doe.
Let her breasts fill you at all times with delight;
be intoxicated always in her love. 20Why should you be intoxicated, my son, with a forbidden woman
and embrace the bosom of an adulteress? 21For a man’s ways are before the eyes of the LORD,
and he ponders all his paths. 22The iniquities of the wicked ensnare him,
and he is held fast in the cords of his sin. 23He dies for lack of discipline,
and because of his great folly he is led astray. Read this passage at the publisher: Read in NIV · Read in ESV
