15 Drinke of the water of thyne owne well, and of the riuers that runne out of thyne owne spring. 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 Let thy welles flowe out abrode, that there may be riuers of waters in the streates: 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 But let them be onlye thyne owne, and not straungers with thee. 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 thy well be blessed, and be glad with the wyfe of thy 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.
