Wesley's Notes

5:16 Fountains - Thy children proceeding from thy wife and from thyself. Fountains are here put for rivers flowing from them. Dispersed - They shall in due time appear abroad to thy comfort, and for the good of others.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

5:15-23 Lawful marriage is a means God has appointed to keep from these destructive vices. But we are not properly united, except as we attend to God's word, seeking his direction and blessing, and acting with affection. Ever remember, that though secret sins may escape the eyes 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 so foolish as to choose the way of sin, are justly left of God to themselves, to go on in the way to destruction.


Proverbs 5:18 Let your fountain be blessed, And rejoice in the wife of your youth.
Proverbs 9:17 "Stolen water is sweet; And bread eaten in secret is pleasant."
Song of Songs 4:12 "A garden locked is my sister, my bride, A rock garden locked, a spring sealed up.
Song of Songs 4:15 "You are a garden spring, A well of fresh water, And streams flowing from Lebanon." (NASB ©1995)
