Proverbs 5:15-23

¹⁵Drinke the water of thy cisterne, and of the riuers out of the middes of thine owne well.

¹⁶Let thy fountaines flow foorth, and the riuers of waters in the streetes.

¹⁷But let them bee thine, euen thine onely, and not the strangers with thee.

¹⁸Let thy fountaine be blessed, and reioyce with the wife of thy youth.

¹⁹Let her be as the louing hinde and pleasant roe: let her brests satisfie thee at all times, and delite in her loue continually.

²⁰For why shouldest thou delite, my sonne, in a strange woman, or embrace the bosome of a stranger?

²¹For the waies of man are before the eyes of the Lord, and he pondereth all his pathes.

²²His owne iniquities shall take the wicked himselfe, and he shall be holden with the cordes of his owne sinne.

²³Hee shall die for fault of instruction, and shall goe astray through his great follie.
