Song of Songs 8:8-14

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 favourH7965.1 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 spicesH1314.2
