5:13. And have not heard the voice of them that taught me, and have not inclined my ear to masters?

5:15. Drink water out of thy own cistern, and the streams of thy own well:
5:16. Let thy fountains be conveyed abroad, and in the streets divide thy waters.
5:17. Keep them to thyself alone, neither let strangers be partakers with thee.
5:18. Let thy vein be blessed, and rejoice with the wife of thy youth:
5:19. Let her be thy dearest hind, and most agreeable fawn: let her breasts inebriate thee at all times: be thou delighted continually with her love.
5:20. Why art thou seduced, my son, by a strange woman, and art cherished in the bosom of another?
5:21. The Lord beholdeth the ways of man, and considereth all his steps.
