Song of Songs 8

Revised Version 1895

1OhH4310 that thou wert as my brotherH251, that sucked the breastsH7699 of my motherH517! when I should findH4672 thee withoutH3808, I would kiss thee; yea, and noneH3808 would despiseH936 meH5414. 2I would leadH413 thee, and bringH935 thee intoH413 my mother’sH517 houseH1004, who would instructH3925 meH413; I would cause thee to drinkH8248 of spicedH7544 wineH3196, of the juiceH6071 of my pomegranateH7416. 3His leftH8040 handH3225 should be underH8478 my headH7218, and his rightH3225 handH3225 should embraceH2263 meH8478. 4I adjureH7650 youH5704, O daughtersH1323 of JerusalemH3389, that ye stirH5782 notH5782 upH5704, nor awakenH5782 loveH160, untilH5704 it please. 5Who is this that cometh upH5927 from the wildernessH4057, leaningH7514 uponH5921 herH5921 belovedH1730? UnderH8478 the appleH8598 treeH8598 I awakenedH5782 thee: there thy motherH517 was in travail with thee, there was sheH517 in travail that broughtH5927 thee forthH3205. 6SetH7760 meH5921 as a sealH2368 uponH5921 thine heartH3820, as a sealH2368 uponH5921 thine armH2220: for loveH160 is strongH5794 as deathH4194; jealousyH7068 is cruelH7186 as the grave: the flashesH7565 thereof are flashesH7565 of fireH784, a very flameH7957 of the LORD. 7ManyH7227 watersH4325 cannotH3808 quenchH3518 loveH160, neitherH3808 canH3201 the floodsH5104 drown it: ifH518 a manH376 would giveH5414 allH3605 the substanceH1952 of his houseH1004 for loveH160, he would utterlyH936 be contemned. 8WeH3117 have a littleH6996 sisterH269, and sheH4100 hath noH369 breastsH7699: whatH4100 shall weH3117 doH6213 for our sisterH269 in the dayH3117 when sheH4100 shall be spokenH1696 for? 9IfH518 sheH1931 be a wallH2346, weH518 will buildH1129 uponH5921 herH5921 a turret of silverH3701: and ifH518 sheH1931 be a doorH1817, weH518 will enclose herH5921 with boards of cedarH730. 10I am a wallH2346, and my breastsH7699 like the towersH4026 thereof: then was I in his eyesH5869 as one that foundH4672 peaceH7965. 11SolomonH8010 had a vineyardH3754 at Baal-hamonH1174; he letH5414 outH376 the vineyardH3754 unto keepersH376; everyH376 one for the fruitH6529 thereof was to bringH935 a thousandH505 pieces of silverH3701. 12My vineyardH3754, which is mine, is beforeH6440 meH6440: thou, O SolomonH8010, shalt have the thousandH505, and thoseH853 that keepH5201 the fruitH6529 thereof twoH3967 hundredH3967. 13Thou that dwellest in the gardensH1588, the companionsH2270 hearken for thy voiceH6963: cause meH6963 to hearH8085 it. 14MakeH1819 haste, my belovedH1730, and be thou like to a roe or to a youngH6082 hart uponH5921 the mountainsH2022 of spicesH1314.
