18 Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.
18 May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth.
18 Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth,
18 Bless your fresh-flowing fountain! Enjoy the wife you married as a young man!
18 Let your fountain be blessed, And rejoice with the wife of your youth.
18 Let your wife be a fountain of blessing for you. Rejoice in the wife of your youth.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 5:18
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.
