Let them be only for your own, and not for strangers with you.
All Commentaries on Proverbs 5:17 Go To Proverbs 5
John Cassian
AD 435
“Drink the waters from your own wells, fresh water from your own source.” … As the prophet Isaiah declares, “You will be like a wellwatered garden, like a flowing spring whose waters will never fail. And places emptied for ages will be built up in you. You will lift up the foundations laid by generation after generation. You will be called the builder of fences, the one who turns the pathways toward peace.” … And so it will happen that not only the whole thrust and thought of your heart but even all the wanderings and the straying of your thoughts will turn into a holy and unending meditation on the law of God.
