ESV, NASB, NKJV, HCSB all translate Proverbs 5:16 as "Should your springs be
scattered...? or something like that. This is done even though clause-initial
Yiqtols are typically volitional. Vaticanus and Sinaiticus put the negative
particle me before this verb which is what one would expect in context.

Joseph,
could you give us a verse where a Yiqtol in its head is taken interrogatively
in an English version?

How do we know the Yiqtol at the beginning of the verse should be taken
interrogatively, as many English translations do? Are there other possible
ways to understand this verb, and this whole verse for that matter?
