Proverbs
Proverbs 5:15–18 uses water and a cistern/well as a picture for marital faithfulness. It describes love as something kept within one’s own home rather than spread outside. The passage connects this with rejoicing in one’s wife.
15Drink water out of your own cistern, Running water out of your own well.
16Should your springs overflow in the streets, Streams of water in the public squares?
17Let them be for yourself alone, Not for strangers with you.
18Let your spring be blessed. Rejoice in the wife of your youth.
