Song of Songs 8:5-12
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.
