Song of Songs 8:5-14
5Who is this that cometh upH5927 from the wildernessH4057, leaningH7514 upon her belovedH1730? I awakenedH5782 thee under the apple treeH8598: there thy motherH517 brought thee forthH2254: there she brought thee forthH2254 that boreH3205 thee. 6SetH7760 me as a sealH2368 upon thy heartH3820, as a sealH2368 upon thy armH2220: for loveH160 is strongH5794 as deathH4194; jealousyH7068 is cruelH7186 as the graveH7585: the coalsH7565 of it are coalsH7565 of fireH784, which hath a most vehement flameH7957.1 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 despisedH936.
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 is a wallH2346, we will buildH1129 upon her a palaceH2918 of silverH3701: and if she is 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 favourH7965.2 11SolomonH8010 had a vineyardH3754 at BaalhamonH1174; he let outH5414 the vineyardH3754 to keepersH5201; every oneH376 for the fruitH6529 of it 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 of it 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 a roeH6643 or a youngH6082 hartH354 upon the mountainsH2022 of spicesH1314.3
