Proverbs 5:15
New Living Translation (NLT)
15 Drink water from your own well—
share your love only with your wife.
"Drink water from your own well" is a picture of faithfulness in marriage. It means to enjoy the spouse God has given you. In desert lands, water is precious, and a well is a family's most important possession. In Old Testament times, it was considered a crime to steal water from someone else's well, just as it was a crime to have relations with another man's wife. In both cases, the offender is endangering the health and security of family.
