Song of Songs 2:9-17
9My belovedH1730 is likeH1819 a 1gazelleH6643 orH176 a 2youngH6082 3stagH354. BeholdH2009, he is standingH5975 behindH310 our wallH3796, He is lookingH7688 throughH4480 the windowsH2474, He is peeringH6692 4throughH4480 the latticeH2762.
10“My belovedH1730 respondedH6030 and saidH559 to me, ‘5AriseH6965, my darlingH7474, my beautifulH3303 oneH3303, And comeH1980 along.11For beholdH2009, the winterH5638 is pastH5674, The rainH1653 is overH2498 and goneH1980.12The flowersH5339 have already appearedH7200 in the landH776; The timeH6256 has arrivedH5060 for 6pruningH2159 the vines, And the voiceH6963 of the 7turtledoveH8449 has been heardH8085 in our landH776.13The 8figH8384 treeH8384 has ripenedH2590 its figsH6291, And the 9vinesH1612 in blossomH5563 have givenH5414 forth their fragranceH7381. AriseH6965, my darlingH7474, my beautifulH3303 oneH3303, And comeH1980 along!’”
14“10O 11my doveH3123, 12in the cleftsH2288 of the 13rockH5553, In the secretH5643 placeH5643 of the steepH4095 14pathwayH4095, Let me seeH7200 your 15formH4758, 16Let me hearH8085 your voiceH6963; For your voiceH6963 is sweetH6156, And your 17formH4758 is 18lovelyH5000.”
15“1920CatchH270 the foxesH7776 for us, The 21littleH6996 foxesH7776 that are ruiningH2254 the vineyardsH3754, While our 22vineyardsH3754 are in blossomH5563.”
16“2324My belovedH1730 is mine, and I am his; He 25pasturesH7462 his flock among the liliesH7799.1726UntilH5704 27the coolH6315 of the dayH3117 when the shadowsH6738 fleeH5127 away, TurnH5437, my belovedH1730, and be likeH1819 a 28gazelleH6643 OrH176 a youngH6082 stagH354 29on the mountainsH2022 of 30BetherH1336.”
