Song of Songs 8:1-8

1Oh that thou wert as my brotherH251, That sucked the breastsH7699 of my motherH517! Should I findH4672 thee without, I would kiss thee; And they would not despiseH936 me.

2I would lead thee, bringH935 thee into my mother's houseH1004; Thou wouldest instruct me: I would cause thee to drinkH8248 of spiced wineH3196, Of the juice of my pomegranateH7416.

3His left handH3225 would be under my headH7218, And his rightH3225 handH3225 embraceH2263 me.

4I charge you, daughtersH1323 of JerusalemH3389, ...WhyH4100 should ye stirH5782 up, whyH4100 awakeH5782 [my] loveH160, till he please?

5Who is this that cometh up from the wildernessH4057, Leaning upon her beloved? I awoke thee under the apple-tree: There thy motherH517 broughtH5927 thee forthH3205; There she broughtH5927 thee forthH3205 [that] boreH3205 thee.

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, Flames of Jah.

7ManyH7227 watersH4325 cannot quenchH3518 loveH160, Neither do the floods drown it: Even if a manH376 gaveH5414 all the substance of his houseH1004 for loveH160, It 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? —
