| 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. | |
| 18 | Let your fountain (wife) be blessed [with the rewards of fidelity], And rejoice in the wife of your youth. | Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth, | May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth. | |
