15. Drink water from your own cistern,
14 I am on the verge of complete ruin
before the entire community.”
15 Drink water from your own cistern,
water flowing from your own well.
16. Should your springs flow in the streets,
16 Should your springs flow in the streets,
streams in the public squares?
17. They should be for you alone
17 They should be for you alone
and not for you to share with strangers.
18. Let your fountain be blessed,
18 Let your fountain be blessed,
and take pleasure in the wife of your youth.
19. A loving deer, a graceful doe--
19 A loving deer, a graceful doe—

20. Why, my son, would you lose yourself

21 For a man’s ways are before the Lord’s eyes,
and he considers all his paths.
22. A wicked man's iniquities will trap him;
