Hi Ray
I was wondering if you could tell me what you think this passage means in the bible.
Proverbs 5:15 Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well. I have a theory (the baby floats in it in the mothers womb, they call it embryonic fluid but the real name is urine, without it the baby's lungs would not grow and it would die) but I want to hear what you think it means. I appriciate it very very much...
Thank you
Dear Bev: Not quite. You need to read the rest of the verses regarding this thought:
Pro 5:15 Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.
Pro 5:16 Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.
Pro 5:17 Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee.
Pro 5:18 Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.
Pro 5:19 Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.
Pro 5:20 And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
Verse 15 is explained in the next verses and fully explained in verse 19.
Drinking from one's own cistern means having sexual love with one's own WIFE, and not a "strange woman."
God be with you,
Ray
