“Let them be only thine own, and not strangers’ with thee.”
“Let them be for thyself alone, And not for strangers with thee. ”
“Let them be for yourself alone, not for strangers with you.”
“Keep them to thyself alone, neither let strangers be partakers with thee.”
“Let them be for yourself only, not for other men with you.”

I almost came to complete ruin in the midst of the whole congregation!”
Drink water from your own cistern and running water from your own well.
Should your springs be dispersed outside, your streams of water in the wide plazas?
Let them be for yourself alone, and not for strangers with you.
May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife you married in your youth–
a loving doe, a graceful deer; may her breasts satisfy you at all times, may you be captivated by her love always.
But why should you be captivated, my son, by an adulteress, and embrace the bosom of a different woman?
