Song of Songs 8:8-14

8We have a little sister too young to have breasts. What will we do for our sister if someone asks to marry her?

9If she is a virgin, like a wall, we will protect her with a silver tower. But if she is promiscuous, like a swinging door, we will block her door with a cedar bar.

10I was a virgin, like a wall; now my breasts are like towers. When my lover looks at me, he is delighted with what he sees.

11Solomon has a vineyard at Baal-hamon, which he leases out to tenant farmers. Each of them pays a thousand pieces of silver for harvesting its fruit.

12But my vineyard is mine to give, and Solomon need not pay a thousand pieces of silver. But I will give two hundred pieces to those who care for its vines.

13O my darling, lingering in the gardens, your companions are fortunate to hear your voice. Let me hear it, too!

14Come away, my love! Be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of spices.
