- Drink water from your own cistern, running water from your own well.
- Should your springs overflow in the streets, your streams of water in the public squares?
- Let them be yours alone, never to be shared with strangers.
- May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth.
- A loving doe, a graceful deer-- may her breasts satisfy you always, may you ever be captivated by her love.

- Why be captivated, my son, by an adulteress? Why embrace the bosom of another man's wife?
- For a man's ways are in full view of the LORD, and he examines all his paths.
- The evil deeds of a wicked man ensnare him; the cords of his sin hold him fast.
- He will die for lack of discipline, led astray by his own great folly.
