Song of Songs 2:1-7

1“1I am the 2 3rose of 4Sharon, The 5lily of the valleys.”

2“6Like a lily among the thorns, So is 7my darling among the 8maidens.”

3“9Like an 10 11apple tree among the trees of the forest, So is my beloved among the 12young men. In his shade I took great delight and sat down, And his 13fruit was sweet to my 14taste.4He has 15brought me to his 16banquet hall, And his 17banner over me is love.5Sustain me with 18raisin cakes, Refresh me with 19 20apples, Because 21I am lovesick.6Let 22his left hand be under my head And 23his right hand 24embrace me.”

7“25I 26adjure you, O 27daughters of Jerusalem, By the 28gazelles or by the 29hinds of the field, 30That you do not arouse or awaken my love Until 31she pleases.”
