15 Drink water from your own cistern [of a pure marriage relationship] And fresh running water from your own well. Drink water from your own cistern, flowing water from your own well. Drink water from your own cistern, running water from your own well.
16 Should your springs (children) be dispersed, As streams of water in the streets? Should your springs be scattered abroad, streams of water in the streets? Should your springs overflow in the streets, your streams of water in the public squares?
17 [Confine yourself to your own wife.] Let your children be yours alone, And not the children of strangers with you. Let them be for yourself alone, and not for strangers with you. Let them be yours alone, never to be shared with strangers.
