rsv Proverbs:5:15-23 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Drink water from your own cistern ,
flowing water from your own well .
*
Should your springs be scattered abroad ,
streams of water in the streets ?
*
Let them be for yourself alone ,
and not for strangers with you .
*
Let your fountain be blessed ,
and rejoice in the wife of your youth ,
*
a lovely hind ,
a graceful doe .
Let her affection fill you at all times with delight ,
be infatuated always with her love .
*
Why should you be infatuated ,
my son ,
with a loose woman and embrace the bosom of an adventuress ?
*
For a man '
s ways are before the eyes of the LORD ,
and he watches all his paths .
*
The iniquities of the wicked ensnare him ,
and he is caught in the toils of his sin .
*
He dies for lack of discipline ,
and because of his great folly he is lost .
