17-20. Your spring water is for you and you only,not to be passed around among strangers.Bless your fresh-flowing fountain!Enjoy the wife you married as a young man!Lovely as an angel, beautiful as a rose—don’t ever quit taking delight in her body.Never take her love for granted!Why would you trade enduring intimacies for cheap thrills with a whore?for dalliance with a promiscuous stranger?
21-23. Mark well that God doesn’t miss a move you make;he’s aware of every step you take.The shadow of your sin will overtake you;you’ll find yourself stumbling all over yourself in the dark.Death is the reward of an undisciplined life;your foolish decisions trap you in a dead end.
