Son 01:01 ¶ The song <07892> of songs <07892>, which is

Solomon’s <08010>.


Son 01:02 ¶ Let him kiss <05401> (8799) me with the kisses

<05390> of his mouth <06310>: for thy love <01730> is better

<02896> than wine <03196>.


Son 01:03  Because of the savour <07381> of thy good <02896>

ointments <08081> thy name <08034> is as ointment <08081> poured

forth <07324> (8714), therefore do the virgins <05959> love

<0157> (8804) thee.


Son 01:04  Draw <04900> (8798) me, we will run <07323> (8799)

after <0310> thee: the king <04428> hath brought <0935> (8689)

me into his chambers <02315>: we will be glad <01523> (8799) and

rejoice <08055> (8799) in thee, we will remember <02142> (8686)

thy love <01730> more than wine <03196>: the upright <04339>

love <0157> (8804) thee.


Son 01:05  I am black <07838>, but comely <05000>, O ye

daughters <01323> of Jerusalem <03389>, as the tents <0168> of

Kedar <06938>, as the curtains <03407> of Solomon <08010>.


Son 01:06  Look <07200> (8799) not upon me, because I am black

<07840>, because the sun <08121> hath looked <07805> (8804) upon

me: my mother’s <0517> children <01121> were angry <02787>

(8738) with me; they made <07760> (8804) me the keeper <05201>

(8802) of the vineyards <03754>; but mine own vineyard <03754>

have I not kept <05201> (8804).


Son 01:07 ¶ Tell <05046> (8685) me, O thou whom my soul <05315>

loveth <0157> (8804), where thou feedest <07462> (8799), where

<0349> thou makest thy flock to rest <07257> (8686) at noon

<06672>: for <04100> why should I be as one that turneth aside

<05844> (8802) by the flocks <05739> of thy companions <02270>?


Son 01:08  If thou know <03045> (8799) not, O thou fairest

<03303> among women <0802>, go thy way forth <03318> (8798) by

the footsteps <06119> of the flock <06629>, and feed <07462>

(8798) thy kids <01429> beside the shepherds <07462> (8802)‘

tents <04908>.


Son 01:09  I have compared <01819> (8765) thee, O my love

<07474>, to a company of horses <05484> in Pharaoh’s <06547>

chariots <07393>.


Son 01:10  Thy cheeks <03895> are comely <04998> (8773) with

rows <08447> of jewels, thy neck <06677> with chains <02737> of

gold.


Son 01:11  We will make <06213> (8799) thee borders <08447> of

gold <02091> with studs <05351> of silver <03701>.


Son 01:12 ¶ While the king <04428> sitteth at his table <04524>,

my spikenard <05373> sendeth forth <05414> (8804) the smell

<07381> thereof.


Son 01:13  A bundle <06872> of myrrh <04753> is my wellbeloved

<01730> unto me; he shall lie <03885> (8799) all night betwixt

my breasts <07699>.


Son 01:14  My beloved <01730> is unto me as a cluster <0811> of

camphire <03724> in the vineyards <03754> of Engedi <05872>.


Son 01:15  Behold, thou art fair <03303>, my love <07474>;

behold, thou art fair <03303>; thou hast doves <03123>‘ eyes

<05869>.


Son 01:16  Behold, thou art fair <03303>, my beloved <01730>,

yea, pleasant <05273>: also our bed <06210> is green <07488>.


Son 01:17  The beams <06982> of our house <01004> are cedar

<0730>, and our rafters <07351> (8675) <07351> of fir <01266>.


Son 02:01 ¶ I am the rose <02261> of Sharon <08289>, and the

lily <07799> of the valleys <06010>.


Son 02:02  As the lily <07799> among thorns <02336>, so is my

love <07474> among the daughters <01323>.


Son 02:03 ¶ As the apple tree <08598> among the trees <06086> of

the wood <03293>, so is my beloved <01730> among the sons

<01121>. I sat <03427> (8804) down under his shadow <06738> with

great delight <02530> (8765), and his fruit <06529> was sweet

<04966> to my taste <02441>.


Son 02:04  He brought <0935> (8689) me to the banqueting <03196>

house <01004>, and his banner <01714> over me was love <0160>.


Son 02:05  Stay <05564> (8761) me with flagons <0809>, comfort

<07502> (8761) me with apples <08598>: for I am sick <02470>

(8802) of love <0160>.


Son 02:06  His left hand <08040> is under my head <07218>, and

his right hand <03225> doth embrace <02263> (8762) me.


Son 02:07  I charge <07650> (8689) you, O ye daughters <01323>

of Jerusalem <03389>, by the roes <06643>, and <0176> by the

hinds <0355> of the field <07704>, that ye stir not up <05782>

(8686), nor awake <05782> (8787) my love <0160>, till he please

<02654> (8799).


Son 02:08 ¶ The voice <06963> of my beloved <01730>! behold, he

cometh <0935> (8802) leaping <01801> (8764) upon the mountains

<02022>, skipping <07092> (8764) upon the hills <01389>.


Son 02:09  My beloved <01730> is like <01819> (8802) a roe

<06643> or a young <06082> hart <0354>: behold, he standeth

<05975> (8802) behind <0310> our wall <03796>, he looketh forth

<07688> (8688) at the windows <02474>, shewing <06692> (8688)

himself through the lattice <02762>.


Son 02:10  My beloved <01730> spake <06030> (8804), and said

<0559> (8804) unto me, Rise up <06965> (8798), my love <07474>,

my fair one <03303>, and come away <03212> (8798).


Son 02:11  For, lo, the winter <05638> is past <05674> (8804),

the rain <01653> is over <02498> (8804) and gone <01980> (8804);


Son 02:12  The flowers <05339> appear <07200> (8738) on the

earth <0776>; the time <06256> of the singing <02158> of birds

is come <05060> (8689), and the voice <06963> of the turtle

<08449> is heard <08085> (8738) in our land <0776>;


Son 02:13  The fig tree <08384> putteth forth <02590> (8804) her

green figs <06291>, and the vines <01612> with the tender grape

<05563> give <05414> (8804) a good smell <07381>. Arise <06965>

(8798), my love <07474>, my fair one <03303>, and come away

<03212> (8798).


Son 02:14 ¶ O my dove <03123>, that art in the clefts <02288> of

the rock <05553>, in the secret <05643> places of the stairs

<04095>, let me see <07200> (8685) thy countenance <04758>, let

me hear <08085> (8685) thy voice <06963>; for sweet <06156> is

thy voice <06963>, and thy countenance <04758> is comely <05000>.


Son 02:15  Take <0270> (8798) us the foxes <07776>, the little

<06996> foxes <07776>, that spoil <02254> (8764) the vines

<03754>: for our vines <03754> have tender grapes <05563>.


Son 02:16  My beloved <01730> is mine, and I am his: he feedeth

<07462> (8802) among the lilies <07799>.


Son 02:17  Until the day <03117> break <06315> (8799), and the

shadows <06752> flee away <05127> (8804), turn <05437> (8798),

my beloved <01730>, and be thou like <01819> (8798) a roe

<06643> or a young <06082> hart <0354> upon the mountains

<02022> of Bether <01336>.


Son 03:01 ¶ By night <03915> on my bed <04904> I sought <01245>

(8765) him whom my soul <05315> loveth <0157> (8804): I sought

<01245> (8765) him, but I found <04672> (8804) him not.


Son 03:02  I will rise <06965> (8799) now, and go about <05437>

(8779) the city <05892> in the streets <07784>, and in the broad

ways <07339> I will seek <01245> (8762) him whom my soul <05315>

loveth <0157> (8804): I sought <01245> (8765) him, but I found

<04672> (8804) him not.


Son 03:03  The watchmen <08104> (8802) that go about <05437>

(8802) the city <05892> found <04672> (8804) me: to whom I said,

Saw <07200> (8804) ye him whom my soul <05315> loveth <0157>

(8804)?


Son 03:04  It was but a little <04592> that I passed <05674>

(8804) from them, but I found <04672> (8804) him whom my soul

<05315> loveth <0157> (8804): I held <0270> (8804) him, and

would not let him go <07503> (8686), until I had brought <0935>

(8689) him into my mother’s <0517> house <01004>, and into the

chamber <02315> of her that conceived <02029> (8802) me.


Son 03:05  I charge <07650> (8689) you, O ye daughters <01323>

of Jerusalem <03389>, by the roes <06643>, and <0176> by the

hinds <0355> of the field <07704>, that ye stir not up <05782>

(8686), nor awake <05782> (8787) my love <0160>, till he please

<02654> (8799).


Son 03:06 ¶ Who is this that cometh <05927> (8802) out of the

wilderness <04057> like pillars <08490> of smoke <06227>,

perfumed <06999> (8794) with myrrh <04753> and frankincense

<03828>, with all powders <081> of the merchant <07402> (8802)?


Son 03:07 ¶ Behold his bed <04296>, which is Solomon’s <08010>;

threescore <08346> valiant <01368> men are about <05439> it, of

the valiant <01368> of Israel <03478>.


Son 03:08  They all hold <0270> (8803) swords <02719>, being

expert <03925> (8794) in war <04421>: every man <0376> hath his

sword <02719> upon his thigh <03409> because of fear <06343> in

the night <03915>.


Son 03:09  King <04428> Solomon <08010> made <06213> (8804)

himself a chariot <0668> of the wood <06086> of Lebanon <03844>.


Son 03:10  He made <06213> (8804) the pillars <05982> thereof of

silver <03701>, the bottom <07507> thereof of gold <02091>, the

covering <04817> of it of purple <0713>, the midst <08432>

thereof being paved <07528> (8803) with love <0160>, for the

daughters <01323> of Jerusalem <03389>.


Son 03:11  Go forth <03318> (8798), O ye daughters <01323> of

Zion <06726>, and behold <07200> (8798) king <04428> Solomon

<08010> with the crown <05850> wherewith his mother <0517>

crowned <05849> (8765) him in the day <03117> of his espousals

<02861>, and in the day <03117> of the gladness <08057> of his

heart <03820>.


Son 04:01 ¶ Behold, thou art fair <03303>, my love <07474>;

behold, thou art fair <03303>; thou hast doves <03123>‘ eyes

<05869> within <01157> thy locks <06777>: thy hair <08181> is as

a flock <05739> of goats <05795>, that appear <01570> from mount

<02022> Gilead <01568>.


Son 04:02  Thy teeth <08127> are like a flock <05739> of sheep

that are even shorn <07094> (8803), which came up <05927> (8804)

from the washing <07367>; whereof every one bear twins <08382>

(8688), and none is barren <07909> among them.


Son 04:03  Thy lips <08193> are like a thread <02339> of scarlet

<08144>, and thy speech <04057> is comely <05000>: thy temples

<07541> are like a piece <06400> of a pomegranate <07416> within

<01157> thy locks <06777>.


Son 04:04  Thy neck <06677> is like the tower <04026> of David

<01732> builded <01129> (8803) for an armoury <08530>, whereon

there hang <08518> (8803) a thousand <0505> bucklers <04043>,

all shields <07982> of mighty men <01368>.


Son 04:05  Thy two <08147> breasts <07699> are like two <08147>

young <06082> roes <06646> that are twins <08380>, which feed

<07462> (8802) among the lilies <07799>.


Son 04:06  Until the day <03117> break <06315> (8799), and the

shadows <06752> flee away <05127> (8804), I will get <03212>

(8799) me to the mountain <02022> of myrrh <04753>, and to the

hill <01389> of frankincense <03828>.


Son 04:07  Thou art all fair <03303>, my love <07474>; there is

no spot <03971> in thee.


Son 04:08 ¶ Come <0935> (8799) with me from Lebanon <03844>, my

spouse <03618>, with me from Lebanon <03844>: look <07789>

(8799) from the top <07218> of Amana <0549>, from the top

<07218> of Shenir <08149> and Hermon <02768>, from the lions

<0738>‘ dens <04585>, from the mountains <02042> of the leopards

<05246>.


Son 04:09  Thou hast ravished my heart <03823> (8765), my sister

<0269>, my spouse <03618>; thou hast ravished my heart <03823>

(8765) with one <0259> of thine eyes <05869>, with one <0259>

chain <06060> of thy neck <06677>.


Son 04:10  How fair <03302> (8804) is thy love <01730>, my

sister <0269>, my spouse <03618>! how much better <02895> (8804)

is thy love <01730> than wine <03196>! and the smell <07381> of

thine ointments <08081> than all spices <01314>!


Son 04:11  Thy lips <08193>, O my spouse <03618>, drop <05197>

(8799) as the honeycomb <05317>: honey <01706> and milk <02461>

are under thy tongue <03956>; and the smell <07381> of thy

garments <08008> is like the smell <07381> of Lebanon <03844>.


Son 04:12  A garden <01588> inclosed <05274> (8803) is my sister

<0269>, my spouse <03618>; a spring <01530> shut up <05274>

(8803), a fountain <04599> sealed <02856> (8803).


Son 04:13  Thy plants <07973> are an orchard <06508> of

pomegranates <07416>, with pleasant <04022> fruits <06529>;

camphire <03724>, with spikenard <05373>,


Son 04:14  Spikenard <05373> and saffron <03750>; calamus

<07070> and cinnamon <07076>, with all trees <06086> of

frankincense <03828>; myrrh <04753> and aloes <0174>, with all

the chief <07218> spices <01314>:


Son 04:15 ¶ A fountain <04599> of gardens <01588>, a well <0875>

of living <02416> waters <04325>, and streams <05140> (8802)

from Lebanon <03844>.


Son 04:16  Awake <05782> (8798), O north wind <06828>; and come

<0935> (8798), thou south <08486>; blow <06315> (8685) upon my

garden <01588>, that the spices <01314> thereof may flow out

<05140> (8799). Let my beloved <01730> come <0935> (8799) into

his garden <01588>, and eat <0398> (8799) his pleasant <04022>

fruits <06529>.


Son 05:01 ¶ I am come <0935> (8804) into my garden <01588>, my

sister <0269>, my spouse <03618>: I have gathered <0717> (8804)

my myrrh <04753> with my spice <01313>; I have eaten <0398>

(8804) my honeycomb <03293> with my honey <01706>; I have drunk

<08354> (8804) my wine <03196> with my milk <02461>: eat <0398>

(8798), O friends <07453>; drink <08354> (8798), yea, drink

abundantly <07937> (8798), O beloved <01730>.


Son 05:02 ¶ I sleep <03463>, but my heart <03820> waketh <05782>

(8802): it is the voice <06963> of my beloved <01730> that

knocketh <01849> (8802), saying, Open <06605> (8798) to me, my

sister <0269>, my love <07474>, my dove <03123>, my undefiled

<08535>: for my head <07218> is filled <04390> (8738) with dew

<02919>, and my locks <06977> with the drops <07447> of the

night <03915>.


Son 05:03  I have put off <06584> (8804) my coat <03801>; how

<0349> shall I put it on <03847> (8799)? I have washed <07364>

(8804) my feet <07272>; how <0349> shall I defile <02936> (8762)

them?


Son 05:04  My beloved <01730> put in <07971> (8804) his hand

<03027> by <04480> the hole <02356> of the door, and my bowels

<04578> were moved <01993> (8804) for him.


Son 05:05  I rose up <06965> (8804) to open <06605> (8800) to my

beloved <01730>; and my hands <03027> dropped <05197> (8804)

with myrrh <04753>, and my fingers <0676> with sweet smelling

<05674> (8802) myrrh <04753>, upon the handles <03709> of the

lock <04514>.


Son 05:06  I opened <06605> (8804) to my beloved <01730>; but my

beloved <01730> had withdrawn <02559> (8804) himself, and was

gone <05674> (8804): my soul <05315> failed <03318> (8804) when

he spake <01696> (8763): I sought <01245> (8765) him, but I

could not find <04672> (8804) him; I called <07121> (8804) him,

but he gave me no answer <06030> (8804).


Son 05:07  The watchmen <08104> (8802) that went about <05437>

(8802) the city <05892> found <04672> (8804) me, they smote

<05221> (8689) me, they wounded <06481> (8804) me; the keepers

<08104> (8802) of the walls <02346> took away <05375> (8804) my

veil <07289> from me.


Son 05:08  I charge <07650> (8689) you, O daughters <01323> of

Jerusalem <03389>, if ye find <04672> (8799) my beloved <01730>,

that ye tell <05046> (8686) him, that I am sick <02470> (8802)

of love <0160>.


Son 05:09 ¶ What is thy beloved <01730> more than another

beloved <01730>, O thou fairest <03303> among women <0802>? what

is thy beloved <01730> more than another beloved <01730>, that

thou <03602> dost so charge <07650> (8689) us?


Son 05:10  My beloved <01730> is white <06703> and ruddy <0122>,

the chiefest <01713> (8803) among ten thousand <07233>.


Son 05:11  His head <07218> is as the most <03800> fine gold

<06337>, his locks <06977> are bushy <08534>, and black <07838>

as a raven <06158>.


Son 05:12  His eyes <05869> are as the eyes of doves <03123> by

the rivers <0650> of waters <04325>, washed <07364> (8801) with

milk <02461>, and fitly set <03427> (8802) <04402>.


Son 05:13  His cheeks <03895> are as a bed <06170> of spices

<01314>, as sweet <04840> flowers <04026>: his lips <08193> like

lilies <07799>, dropping <05197> (8802) sweet smelling <05674>

(8802) myrrh <04753>.


Son 05:14  His hands <03027> are as gold <02091> rings <01550>

set <04390> (8794) with the beryl <08658>: his belly <04578> is

as bright <06247> ivory <08127> overlaid <05968> (8794) with

sapphires <05601>.


Son 05:15  His legs <07785> are as pillars <05982> of marble

<08336>, set <03245> (8794) upon sockets <0134> of fine gold

<06337>: his countenance <04758> is as Lebanon <03844>,

excellent <0977> (8803) as the cedars <0730>.


Son 05:16  His mouth <02441> is most sweet <04477>: yea, he is

altogether lovely <04261>. This is my beloved <01730>, and this

is my friend <07453>, O daughters <01323> of Jerusalem <03389>.


Son 06:01 ¶ Whither is thy beloved <01730> gone <01980> (8804),

O thou fairest <03303> among women <0802>? whither is thy

beloved <01730> turned aside <06437> (8804)? that we may seek

<01245> (8762) him with thee.


Son 06:02  My beloved <01730> is gone down <03381> (8804) into

his garden <01588>, to the beds <06170> of spices <01314>, to

feed <07462> (8800) in the gardens <01588>, and to gather

<03950> (8800) lilies <07799>.


Son 06:03  I am my beloved’s <01730>, and my beloved <01730> is

mine: he feedeth <07462> (8802) among the lilies <07799>.


Son 06:04 ¶ Thou art beautiful <03303>, O my love <07474>, as

Tirzah <08656>, comely <05000> as Jerusalem <03389>, terrible

<0366> as an army with banners <01713> (8737).


Son 06:05  Turn away <05437> (8685) thine eyes <05869> from me,

for they <01992> have overcome <07292> (8689) me: thy hair

<08181> is as a flock <05739> of goats <05795> that appear

<01570> from Gilead <01568>.


Son 06:06  Thy teeth <08127> are as a flock <05739> of sheep

<07353> which go up <05927> (8804) from the washing <07367>,

whereof every one beareth twins <08382> (8688), and there is not

one barren <07909> among them.


Son 06:07  As a piece <06400> of a pomegranate <07416> are thy

temples <07541> within <01157> thy locks <06777>.


Son 06:08  There are threescore <08346> queens <04436>, and

fourscore <08084> concubines <06370>, and virgins <05959>

without number <04557>.


Son 06:09  My dove <03123>, my undefiled <08535> is but one

<0259>; she is the only one <0259> of her mother <0517>, she is

the choice <01249> one of her that bare <03205> (8802) her. The

daughters <01323> saw <07200> (8804) her, and blessed <0833>

(8762) her; yea, the queens <04436> and the concubines <06370>,

and they praised <01984> (8762) her.


Son 06:10  Who is she that looketh forth <08259> (8737) as the

morning <07837>, fair <03303> as the moon <03842>, clear <01249>

as the sun <02535>, and terrible <0366> as an army with banners

<01713> (8737)?


Son 06:11 ¶ I went down <03381> (8804) into the garden <01594>

of nuts <093> to see <07200> (8800) the fruits <03> of the

valley <05158>, and to see <07200> (8800) whether the vine

<01612> flourished <06524> (8804), and the pomegranates <07416>

budded <05132> (8689).


Son 06:12  Or ever I was aware <03045> (8804), my soul <05315>

made <07760> (8804) me like the chariots <04818> of Amminadib

<05993>.


Son 06:13  Return <07725> (8798), return <07725> (8798), O

Shulamite <07759>; return <07725> (8798), return <07725> (8798),

that we may look <02372> (8799) upon thee. What will ye see

<02372> (8799) in the Shulamite <07759>? As it were the company

<04246> of two armies <04264>.


Son 07:01 ¶ How beautiful <03302> (8804) are thy feet <06471>

with shoes <05275>, O prince’s <05081> daughter <01323>! the

joints <02542> of thy thighs <03409> are like jewels <02481>,

the work <04639> of the hands <03027> of a cunning workman

<0542>.


Son 07:02  Thy navel <08326> is like a round <05469> goblet

<0101>, which wanteth <02637> (8799) not liquor <04197>: thy

belly <0990> is like an heap <06194> of wheat <02406> set about

<05473> (8803) with lilies <07799>.


Son 07:03  Thy two <08147> breasts <07699> are like two <08147>

young <06082> roes <06646> that are twins <08380>.


Son 07:04  Thy neck <06677> is as a tower <04026> of ivory

<08127>; thine eyes <05869> like the fishpools <01295> in

Heshbon <02809>, by the gate <08179> of Bathrabbim <01337>: thy

nose <0639> is as the tower <04026> of Lebanon <03844> which

looketh <06822> (8802) toward <06440> Damascus <01834>.


Son 07:05  Thine head <07218> upon thee is like Carmel <03760>,

and the hair <01803> of thine head <07218> like purple <0713>;

the king <04428> is held <0631> (8803) in the galleries <07298>.


Son 07:06  How fair <03302> (8804) and how pleasant <05276>

(8804) art thou, O love <0160>, for delights <08588>!


Son 07:07  This thy stature <06967> is like <01819> (8804) to a

palm tree <08558>, and thy breasts <07699> to clusters <0811> of

grapes.


Son 07:08  I said <0559> (8804), I will go up <05927> (8799) to

the palm tree <08558>, I will take hold <0270> (8799) of the

boughs <05577> thereof: now also thy breasts <07699> shall be as

clusters <0811> of the vine <01612>, and the smell <07381> of

thy nose <0639> like apples <08598>;


Son 07:09  And the roof of thy mouth <02441> like the best

<02896> wine <03196> for my beloved <01730>, that goeth <01980>

(8802) down sweetly <04339>, causing the lips <08193> of those

that are asleep <03463> to speak <01680> (8802).


Son 07:10 ¶ I am my beloved’s <01730>, and his desire <08669> is

toward me.


Son 07:11  Come <03212> (8798), my beloved <01730>, let us go

forth <03318> (8799) into the field <07704>; let us lodge

<03885> (8799) in the villages <03723>.


Son 07:12  Let us get up early <07925> (8686) to the vineyards

<03754>; let us see <07200> (8799) if the vine <01612> flourish

<06524> (8804), whether the tender grape <05563> appear <06605>

(8765), and the pomegranates <07416> bud forth <05132> (8689):

there will I give <05414> (8799) thee my loves <01730>.


Son 07:13  The mandrakes <01736> give <05414> (8804) a smell

<07381>, and at our gates <06607> are all manner of pleasant

<04022> fruits, new <02319> and old <03465>, which I have laid

up <06845> (8804) for thee, O my beloved <01730>.


Son 08:01 ¶ O that <05414> (8799) thou wert as my brother <0251>,

 that sucked <03243> (8802) the breasts <07699> of my mother

<0517>! when I should find <04672> (8799) thee without <02351>,

I would kiss <05401> (8799) thee; yea, I should not be despised

<0936> (8799).


Son 08:02  I would lead <05090> (8799) thee, and bring <0935>

(8686) thee into my mother’s <0517> house <01004>, who would

instruct <03925> (8762) me: I would cause thee to drink <08248>

(8686) of spiced <07544> wine <03196> of the juice <06071> of my

pomegranate <07416>.


Son 08:03  His left hand <08040> should be under my head <07218>,

 and his right hand <03225> should embrace <02263> (8762) me.


Son 08:04  I charge <07650> (8689) you, O daughters <01323> of

Jerusalem <03389>, that ye stir not up <05782> (8686), nor awake

<05782> (8787) my love <0160>, until he please <02654> (8799).


Son 08:05 ¶ Who is this that cometh up <05927> (8802) from the

wilderness <04057>, leaning <07514> (8693) upon her beloved

<01730>? I raised <05782> (8790) thee up under the apple tree

<08598>: there thy mother <0517> brought thee forth <02254>

(8765): there she brought thee forth <02254> (8765) that bare

<03205> (8804) thee.


Son 08:06  Set <07760> (8798) me as a seal <02368> upon thine

heart <03820>, as a seal <02368> upon thine arm <02220>: for

love <0160> is strong <05794> as death <04194>; jealousy <07068>

is cruel <07186> as the grave <07585>: the coals <07565> thereof

are coals <07565> of fire <0784>, which hath a most vehement

flame <07957>.


Son 08:07  Many <07227> waters <04325> cannot <03201> (8799)

quench <03518> (8763) love <0160>, neither can the floods

<05104> drown <07857> (8799) it: if a man <0376> would give

<05414> (8799) all the substance <01952> of his house <01004>

for love <0160>, it would utterly <0936> (8800) be contemned

<0936> (8799).


Son 08:08 ¶ We have a little <06996> sister <0269>, and she hath

no breasts <07699>: what shall we do <06213> (8799) for our

sister <0269> in the day <03117> when she shall be spoken for

<01696> (8792)?


Son 08:09  If she be a wall <02346>, we will build <01129>

(8799) upon her a palace <02918> of silver <03701>: and if she

be a door <01817>, we will inclose <06696> (8799) her with

boards <03871> of cedar <0730>.


Son 08:10  I am a wall <02346>, and my breasts <07699> like

towers <04026>: then was I in his eyes <05869> as one that found

<04672> (8802) favour <07965>.


Son 08:11  Solomon <08010> had a vineyard <03754> at Baalhamon

<01174>; he let out <05414> (8804) the vineyard <03754> unto

keepers <05201> (8802); every one <0376> for the fruit <06529>

thereof was to bring <0935> (8686) a thousand <0505> pieces of

silver <03701>.


Son 08:12  My vineyard <03754>, which is mine, is before <06440>

me: thou, O Solomon <08010>, must have a thousand <0505>, and

those that keep <05201> (8802) the fruit <06529> thereof two

hundred <03967>.


Son 08:13 ¶ Thou that dwellest <03427> (8802) in the gardens

<01588>, the companions <02270> hearken <07181> (8688) to thy

voice <06963>: cause me to hear <08085> (8685) it.


Son 08:14  Make haste <01272> (8798), my beloved <01730>, and be

thou like <01819> (8798) to a roe <06643> or to a young <06082>

hart <0354> upon the mountains <02022> of spices <01314>.
