Song of Songs 8:8-14
8“1We have a littleH6996 sisterH269, And she 2hasH369 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 3planksH3871 of cedarH730.”
10“4I was a wallH2346, and 5my breastsH7699 were like towersH4026; ThenH227 I becameH1961 in his eyesH5869 as one who findsH4672 peaceH7965.11SolomonH8010 hadH1961 a 6vineyardH3754 at Baal-hamonH1174; He 7entrustedH5414 the vineyardH3754 to 8caretakersH5201. EachH376 oneH376 was to bringH935 a 9thousandH505 shekels of silverH3701 for its 10fruitH6529.12My veryH7945 own vineyardH3754 is 11at my disposalH6440; The thousandH505 shekels are for you, SolomonH8010, And two hundredH3967 are for those who takeH5201 careH5201 of its fruitH6529.”
13“12O you who sitH3427 in the gardensH1588, My 13companionsH2270 are listeningH7181 for your voiceH6963-- 14Let me hearH8085 it!”
14“1516HurryH1272, my belovedH1730, And be 17likeH1819 a gazelleH6643 orH176 a youngH6082 18stagH354 On the 19mountainsH2022 of spicesH1314.”
