Song of Songs 8

1O thatH5414 thou wert as my brotherH251, that suckedH3243 the breastsH7699 of my motherH517! when I should findH4672 thee withoutH2351, I would kissH5401 thee; yea, I should not be despisedH936.1 2I would leadH5090 thee, and bringH935 thee into my mother’sH517 houseH1004, who would instructH3925 me: I would cause thee to drinkH8248 of spicedH7544 wineH3196 of the juiceH6071 of my pomegranateH7416. 3His left handH8040 should be under my headH7218, and his right handH3225 should embraceH2263 me. 4I chargeH7650 you, O daughtersH1323 of JerusalemH3389, that ye stir not upH5782, nor awakeH5782 my loveH160, until he pleaseH2654.2 5Who is this that cometh upH5927 from the wildernessH4057, leaningH7514 upon her belovedH1730? I raisedH5782 thee up under the apple treeH8598: there thy motherH517 brought thee forthH2254: there she brought thee forthH2254 that bareH3205 thee.

6SetH7760 me as a sealH2368 upon thine heartH3820, as a sealH2368 upon thine armH2220: for loveH160 is strongH5794 as deathH4194; jealousyH7068 is cruelH7186 as the graveH7585: the coalsH7565 thereof are coalsH7565 of fireH784, which hath a most vehement flameH7957.3 7ManyH7227 watersH4325 cannotH3201 quenchH3518 loveH160, neither can the floodsH5104 drownH7857 it: if a manH376 would giveH5414 all the substanceH1952 of his houseH1004 for loveH160, it would utterlyH936 be contemnedH936.

8We have a littleH6996 sisterH269, and she hath no breastsH7699: what shall we doH6213 for our sisterH269 in the dayH3117 when she shall be spoken forH1696? 9If she be a wallH2346, we will buildH1129 upon her a palaceH2918 of silverH3701: and if she be a doorH1817, we will incloseH6696 her with boardsH3871 of cedarH730. 10I am a wallH2346, and my breastsH7699 like towersH4026: then was I in his eyesH5869 as one that foundH4672 favourH7965.4 11SolomonH8010 had a vineyardH3754 at Baal–hamonH1174; he let outH5414 the vineyardH3754 unto keepersH5201; every oneH376 for the fruitH6529 thereof was to bringH935 a thousandH505 pieces of silverH3701. 12My vineyardH3754, which is mine, is beforeH6440 me: thou, O SolomonH8010, must have a thousandH505, and those that keepH5201 the fruitH6529 thereof two hundredH3967. 13Thou that dwellestH3427 in the gardensH1588, the companionsH2270 hearkenH7181 to thy voiceH6963: cause me to hearH8085 it.

14Make hasteH1272, my belovedH1730, and be thou likeH1819 to a roeH6643 or to a youngH6082 hartH354 upon the mountainsH2022 of spicesH1314.5
