Song of Songs 8:1-4

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
