Proverbs 5:16

Adam Clarke
Bible Commentary

Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad - Let thy children lawfully begotten be numerous.

Albert Barnes
Notes on the Whole Bible

Wedded love streams forth in blessing on all around, on children and on neighbors and ill the streets, precisely because the wife‘s true love is given to the husband only.

Matthew Henry
Concise Bible Commentary
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.
