Song of Songs 8:5-12

5Who is this that cometh up from the wildernessH4057,Leaning upon her beloved?Under the apple-tree I awakenedH5782 thee:There thy motherH517 was in travail with thee,There was she in travail that broughtH5927 thee forthH3205.6SetH7760 me as a sealH2368 upon thy heartH3820,As a sealH2368 upon thine armH2220:For loveH160 is strongH5794 as deathH4194;JealousyH7068 is cruel as SheolH7585;The flashesH7565 thereof are flashesH7565 of fireH784,A very flameH7957 of Jehovah.7ManyH7227 watersH4325 cannot quenchH3518 loveH160,Neither can floods drown it:If a manH376 would giveH5414 all the substance of his houseH1004 for loveH160,He would utterly be contemned.8We have a littleH6996 sisterH269,And she hath no breastsH7699: What shall we do for our sisterH269 In the dayH3117 when she shall be spokenH1696 for?9If she be a wallH2346,We will buildH1129 upon her a turret of silverH3701:And if she be a doorH1817,We will inclose her with boards of cedarH730.10I am a wallH2346, and my breastsH7699 like the towersH4026thereofThenH227 wasH1961 I in his eyesH5869 as one that foundH4672 peaceH7965.11SolomonH8010 had a vineyardH3754 at Baal-hamon;He let out the vineyardH3754 unto keepers;Every oneH376 for the fruitH6529 thereof wasH1961 to bringH935 a thousandH505 pieces of silverH3701.12My vineyardH3754, which is mine, is before me:Thou, O SolomonH8010, shalt have the thousandH505,And those that keepH5201 the fruitH6529 thereof twoH3967 hundredH3967.
