Song of Songs 8:5-14

5“12WhoH4310 is thisH2088 comingH5927 up from the wildernessH4057 LeaningH7514 on her belovedH1730?” “3BeneathH8478 the 45appleH8598 treeH8598 I awakenedH5782 you; ThereH8033 your motherH517 was in laborH2254 with you, ThereH8033 she was in laborH2254 and gaveH3205 you birthH3205.6PutH7760 me like a 6sealH2368 overH5921 your heartH3820, Like a 7sealH2368 on your armH2220. For loveH160 is as strongH5794 as deathH4194, 89JealousyH7068 is as severeH7186 as SheolH7585; Its flashesH7565 are flashesH7565 of fireH784, 10The very flameH7957 of the LordH3050.7ManyH7227 watersH4325 cannotH3201H3808 quenchH3518 loveH160, NorH3808 will riversH5104 overflowH7857 it; 11IfH518 a manH376 were to giveH5414 allH3605 the richesH1952 of his houseH1004 for loveH160, It would be utterlyH936 despisedH936.”

8“12We have a littleH6996 sisterH269, And she 13hasH369 noH369 breastsH7699; WhatH4100 shall we doH6213 for our sisterH269 On the dayH3117 whenH7945 she is spokenH1696 for?9IfH518 she is a wallH2346, We will buildH1129 on her a battlementH2918 of silverH3701; But ifH518 she is a doorH1817, We will barricadeH6696 her with 14planksH3871 of cedarH730.”

10“15I was a wallH2346, and 16my breastsH7699 were like towersH4026; ThenH227 I becameH1961 in his eyesH5869 as one who findsH4672 peaceH7965.11SolomonH8010 hadH1961 a 17vineyardH3754 at Baal-hamonH1174; He 18entrustedH5414 the vineyardH3754 to 19caretakersH5201. EachH376 oneH376 was to bringH935 a 20thousandH505 shekels of silverH3701 for its 21fruitH6529.12My veryH7945 own vineyardH3754 is 22at my disposalH6440; The thousandH505 shekels are for you, SolomonH8010, And two hundredH3967 are for those who takeH5201 careH5201 of its fruitH6529.”

13“23O you who sitH3427 in the gardensH1588, My 24companionsH2270 are listeningH7181 for your voiceH6963-- 25Let me hearH8085 it!”

14“2627HurryH1272, my belovedH1730, And be 28likeH1819 a gazelleH6643 orH176 a youngH6082 29stagH354 On the 30mountainsH2022 of spicesH1314.”
