Wesley's Notes for Proverbs 5:17

5:15 Drink - Content thyself with those delights which God alloweth thee in the sober use of the marriage - bed.

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.

5:18 Fountain - Thy wife. Blessed - With children; for barrenness was esteemed a curse among the Israelites.

5:19 Satisfy thee - At all convenient times: for that there may be excess in the marriage - bed is manifest. Ravished - Love her fervently. It is an hyperbolical expression.
