Proverbs 5:16

Should your springs overflow in the streets, streams of water in the public squares?

14 I have come to the brink of utter ruin, among the gathered assembly.”

16 Should your springs overflow in the streets, streams of water in the public squares?

17 Let them be for yourself alone, not for strangers with you.

18 Let your spring be blessed. Rejoice in the wife of your youth.
