Song of Songs 8:5-14

5WhoH4310 is thisH2063 coming upH5927 fromH4480 the wildernessH4057, leaningH7514 on herH5921 belovedH1730?

I roused youH5782 underH8478 the apple treeH8598;thereH8033 your motherH517 conceived youH2254;thereH8033 she travailedH2254 and brought you forthH3205.

6Set meH7760 as a sealH2368 overH5921 your heartH3820,as a sealH2368 uponH5921 your armH2220.ForH3588 loveH160 is as strongH5794 as deathH4194,its jealousyH7068 1 as unrelentingH7186 as SheolH7585.Its sparksH7565 are fieryH784 flamesH7565,the fiercest blaze of allH7957.7MightyH7227 watersH4325 cannotH3808 H3201 quenchH3518 loveH160;riversH5104 cannotH3808 sweep it awayH7857.IfH518 a manH376 were to giveH5414 allH3605 the wealthH1952 of his houseH1004 for loveH160,his offer would be utterly scornedH936.

8We have a littleH6996 sisterH269,and her breastsH7699 are not yet grownH369.WhatH4100 shall we doH6213 for our sisterH269on the dayH3117 she is spoken forH1696?9IfH518 sheH1931 is a wallH2346,we will buildH1129 a towerH2918 of silverH3701 upon herH5921.IfH518 sheH1931 is a doorH1817,we will encloseH6696 herH5921 with panelsH3871 of cedarH730.

10IH589 am a wallH2346,and my breastsH7699 are like towersH4026.SoH227 I have becomeH1961 in his eyesH5869like one who bringsH4672 peaceH7965.11SolomonH8010 hadH1961 a vineyardH3754 in Baal-hamonH1174.He leasedH5414 it to the tenantsH5201.For its fruitH6529, eachH376 was to bringH935a thousandH505 shekels of silverH3701.212But my own vineyardH3754 is mine to giveH6440;the thousandH505 shekels are for you, O SolomonH8010,and two hundredH3967 are for those who tendH5201 its fruitH6529.

13You who dwellH3427 in the gardensH1588,my companionsH2270 are listeningH7181 for your voiceH6963.Let me hear itH8085!

14Come awayH1272, my belovedH1730,and be likeH1819 a gazelleH6643orH176 a youngH6082 stagH354onH5921 the mountainsH2022 of spicesH1314.
