14. I was well nigh in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.
15. Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.
16. Should thy springs be dispersed abroad, and rivers of water in the streets?
17. Let them be for thyself alone, and not for strangers with thee.
18. Let thy fountain be blessed; and rejoice in the wife of thy youth.
19. As a loving hind and a pleasant doe, let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.
20. For why shouldest thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
21. For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he maketh level all his paths.
22. His own iniquities shall take the wicked, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sin.
23. He shall die for lack of instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
