Proverbs 5:16

Should your springs overflow in the streets, your streams of water in the public square?

Though the context of this proverb is faithfulness to one’s wife, it’s an excellent analogy that water-needy peoples like the Sonjos can understand. Like many other peoples who must conserve this precious resource, the Sonjos can understand from this proverb why it’s so important to remain faithful in marriage. By extension, they can also understand how unfaithfulness in marriage has parallels with unfaithfulness to the One True God.
