For your ways are in full view of the Lord, and he examines all your paths

Proverb 5:15-23

Drink water from your own cistern, running water from your own well. Should your springs overflow in the streets, your streams of water in the public squares? Let them be yours alone, never to be shared with strangers. May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth. A loving doe, a graceful deer— may her breasts satisfy you always, may you ever be intoxicated with her love. Why, my son, be intoxicated with another man’s wife?  Why embrace the bosom of a wayward woman?

For your ways are in full view of the Lord, and he examines all your paths. The evil deeds of the wicked ensnare them; the cords of their sins hold them fast. For lack of discipline they will die, led astray by their own great folly.

Why?

Running water from your own well means we may enjoy the love with our wife. Why do we go out to get another well? It is examined by the Lord.

The marriage takes place before the Lord, it is a commitment before the Lord, so everyone has the responsibility to keep this covenant between my couple and the Lord.

How?

Fear the Lord is wisdom, our ways are in full view of the Lord, and he examines all your paths. Blessing and cursing depend on our choice.
