In context
14 Soon was I in all evil, in the midst of convocation and assembly.
15 Drink thou water out of thine own cistern, and flowing streams out of the midst of thine own well.
16 Let not thy fountains, flow over, abroad, in the streets, dividings of waters:
17 Let them be for thyself, alone, and not for strangers with thee.
18 Let thy well-spring be blessed,—and get thy joy from the wife of thy youth:—
19 A loving hind! a graceful doe! let, her bosom, content thee at all times, and, in her love, mayst thou stray evermore.
20 Wherefore, then, shouldst thou stray, my son, with a strange woman? or embrace the bosom of a woman unknown?
