15 Bois les eaux de ta citerne, Les eaux qui sortent de ton puits.

16 Tes sources doivent-elles se répandre au-dehors? Tes ruisseaux doivent ils couler sur les places publiques?

17 Qu’ils soient pour toi seul, Et non pour des étrangers avec toi.

18 Que ta source soit bénie, Et fais ta joie de la femme de ta jeunesse,

19 Biche des amours, gazelle pleine de grâce: Sois en tout temps enivré de ses charmes, Sans cesse épris de son amour.
