Proverbs 5:16
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Why should your springs flow in the streets, your streams of water in the public squares?
In context
14 I am on the brink of utter ruin in the midst of the whole assembly.”
15 Drink water from your own cistern, and running water from your own well.
16 Why should your springs flow in the streets, your streams of water in the public squares?
17 Let them be yours alone, never to be shared with strangers.
18 May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth:
