Proverbs 5:16-18
New Living Translation

16 Why spill the water of your springs in the streets,
    having sex with just anyone?[a]
17 You should reserve it for yourselves.
    Never share it with strangers.

18 Let your wife be a fountain of blessing for you.
    Rejoice in the wife of your youth.
