Proverbs 5:14-19
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 5
14I was almost in total ruin In the midst of the assembly and congregation.' 15Drink water from your own cistern, And fresh water from your own well. 16Should your springs overflow into the street, Streams of water in the public squares? 17Let them be yours alone, And not for strangers with you. 18Let your fountain be blessed, And rejoice in the wife of your youth. 19 Like a loving doe and a graceful mountain goat, Let her breasts satisfy you at all times; Be exhilarated always with her love.King James Version
15Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.
16Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.
17Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee.
18Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.
19Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 5
14I am on the verge of complete ruin before the entire community." 15Drink water from your own cistern, water flowing from your own well. 16Should your springs flow in the streets, streams in the public squares? 17They should be for you alone and not for you to share with strangers. 18Let your fountain be blessed, and take pleasure in the wife of your youth. 19A loving deer, a graceful doe -- let her breasts always satisfy you; be lost in her love forever.New Living Translation
English Standard Version
Chapter 5
14I am at the brink of utter ruin in the assembled congregation.” 15Drink 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.New International Version
Chapter 5
14And I was soon in serious trouble in the assembly of God's people.' 15Drink water from your own cistern, running water from your own well. 16Should your springs overflow in the streets, your streams of water in the public squares? 17Let them be yours alone, never to be shared with strangers. 18May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth. 19A loving doe, a graceful deer-- may her breasts satisfy you always, may you ever be intoxicated with her love.New King James Version
