SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:18
Será bendito tu manantial; y alégrate de la mujer de tu juventud.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 5:18
Verse 18. Let thy fountain be blessed ] ûwrb ûrwqm yhy yehi mekorecha baruch. Sit vena tua benedicta. Thy vein; that which carries off streams from the fountain of animal life, in order to disperse them abroad, and through the streets. How delicate and correct is the allusion here! But anatomical allusions must not be pressed into detail in a commentary on Scripture.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 18. Let thy fountain be blessed , etc.] Thy wife; make her happy by keeping to her and from others; by behaving in a loving, affable, and respectful manner to her; by living comfortably with her, and providing well for her and her children: or reckon her a happiness, a blessing that God has bestowed; or “thy fountain shall be blessed,” as the Targum; that is, with a numerous offspring, which was always reckoned a blessedness, and was generally the happiness of virtuous women, when harlots were barren; and rejoice with the wife of thy youth ; taken to be a wife in youth, and lived with ever since; do not despise her, nor divorce her, even in old age, but delight in her company now as ever; carry it not morosely and churlishly to her, but express a joy and pleasure in her; see ( Ecclesiastes 9:9 Malachi 2:14,15). Jarchi interprets this of the law learned in youth; but it might be much better interpreted of the pure apostolic church of Christ, “the beulah”, to whom her sons are married, ( Isaiah 62:4,5); to whom they should cleave with delight and pleasure, and not follow the antichristian harlot.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 15-23 - Lawful marriage is a means God has appointed to keep from thes destructive vices. But we are not properly united, except as we atten to God's word, seeking his direction and blessing, and acting with affection. Ever remember, that though secret sins may escape the eye of our fellow-creatures, yet a man's ways are before the eyes of the Lord, who not only sees, but ponders all his goings. Those who are s foolish as to choose the way of sin, are justly left of God to themselves, to go on in the way to destruction __________________________________________________________________
