Berean Standard Bible
Song of Songs 8
1O that you were to me like a brother who nursed at my mother’s breasts! If I found you outdoors, I would kiss you, and no one would despise me.2I would lead you and bring you to the house of my mother who taught me. I would give you spiced wine to drink, the nectar of my pomegranates.
The Friends
4O daughters of Jerusalem, I adjure you: Do not arouse or awaken love until the time is right.
The Bride
5Who is this coming up from the wilderness, leaning on her beloved?
The Friends
7Mighty waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot sweep it away. If a man were to give all the wealth of his house for love, his offer would be utterly scorned.
The Bride
9If she is a wall, we will build a tower of silver upon her. If she is a door, we will enclose her with panels of cedar.
The Bridegroom
12But my own vineyard is mine to give; the thousand shekels are for you, O Solomon, and two hundred are for those who tend its fruit.
The Bride
13You who dwell in the gardens, my companions are listening for your voice. Let me hear it!
