Commentary on Proverbs 5:15
Sexual fidelity within marriage is portrayed through water imagery—refreshing, life-giving, and exclusive. The cistern and well represent the covenant wife, whose love should fully satisfy. This elevates marital intimacy as God's good gift while condemning adultery's theft and covenant-breaking.
