15 Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.
15 Drink water from your own cistern, running water from your own well.
15 Drink water from your own cistern, flowing water from your own well.
15 Do you know the saying, "Drink from your own rain barrel, draw water from your own spring-fed well"?
15 Drink water from your own cistern, And running water from your own well.
15 Drink water from your own well- share your love only with your wife.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 5:15
Commentary on Proverbs 5:15-23
(Read Proverbs 5:15-23)
Lawful marriage is a means God has appointed to keep from these destructive vices. But we are not properly united, except as we attend to God's word, seeking his direction and blessing, and acting with affection. Ever remember, that though secret sins may escape the eyes of our fellow-creatures, yet a man's ways are before the eyes of the Lord, who not only sees, but ponders all his goings. Those who are so foolish as to choose the way of sin, are justly left of God to themselves, to go on in the way to destruction.
