The Lord Will

Proverbs 5:15

β€œDrink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.”

KJV

Read in Proverbs 5

Meaning

Water imagery shifts the chapter from warning to a positive picture of exclusive marital faithfulness.

Read carefully

The metaphor concerns exclusivity and faithfulness; it does not reduce a spouse to property or negate mutual dignity and consent.
