14 Casi en todo mal he estado, en medio de la sociedad y de la congregación.

15 Bebe el agua de tu cisterna, y los raudales de tu pozo.

16 Derrámense por de fuera tus fuentes, en las plazas los ríos de aguas.

17 Sean para ti solo, y no para los extraños contigo.

18 Sea bendito tu manantial; y alégrate con la mujer de tu mocedad.
