Song of Songs 8:5-14

5“1WhoH4310 is thisH2088 comingH5927 upH5927 from the wildernessH4057, LeaningH7514 on her belovedH1730?” The Bride “BeneathH8478 the 2appleH8598 treeH8598 I awakenedH5782 you; ThereH8033 your motherH517 wentH2254 intoH2254 laborH2254 with you, ThereH8033 she wasH2254 inH2254 laborH2254 and gaveH3205 birthH3205 to you.6PutH7760 me like a sealH2368 overH5921 your heartH3820, Like a 3sealH2368 on your armH2220. For loveH160 is as strongH5794 as deathH4194, 45JealousyH7068 is as severeH7186 as SheolH7585; Its flamesH7565 are flamesH7565 of fireH784, 6The flameH7957 of the LordH3050.7ManyH7227 watersH4325 cannotH3201H3808 quenchH3518 loveH160, NorH3808 will riversH5104 floodH7857 overH7857 it; 7IfH518 a manH376 were to giveH5414 allH3605 the richesH1952 of his houseH1004 for loveH160, It would be utterlyH936 despisedH936.”

8“We have a littleH6996 sisterH269, And she 8hasH369 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 9planksH3871 of cedarH730.”

10“I was a wallH2346, and 10my breastsH7699 were like towersH4026; ThenH227 I becameH1961 in his eyesH5869 as one who findsH4672 peaceH7965.11SolomonH8010 hadH1961 a 11vineyardH3754 at Baal-hamonH1174; He 12entrustedH5414 the vineyardH3754 to 13caretakersH5201. EachH376 oneH376 was to bringH935 a 14thousandH505 shekels of silverH3701 for its 15fruitH6529.12My veryH7945 own vineyardH3754 is 16at my disposalH6440; The thousandH505 shekels are for you, SolomonH8010, And two hundredH3967 are for those who takeH5201 careH5201 of its fruitH6529.”

13“You who sitH3427 in the gardensH1588: My 17companionsH2270 are listeningH7181 for your voiceH6963-- 18Let me hearH8085 it!”

14“19HurryH1272, my belovedH1730, And beH1819 20likeH1819 a gazelleH6643 orH176 a youngH6082 21stagH354 On the 22mountainsH2022 of balsamH1314 treesH1314!”
