Song of Solomon

Chapter 8

1 WHO shall give you to me for my brother that sucked the breasts of my mother? When I should find you in the street, I would kiss you; yea, I should not be despised.

2 I would lead you and bring you into my mother's house, into the chamber of her that bore me; I would give you a drink of my delicious wine, and of the sweet juice of my pomegranates.

3 His left arm is under my head, and his right hand embraces me.

4 I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that you stir not up nor awake love until he please.

5 Who is this that comes up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? I awakened you under the apple tree; there your mother brought you forth; there she that bore you was in travail.

6 Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm; for love is strong as death; desire is cruel as Sheol; its flashes are flashes of fire and flame.

7 Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the rivers carry it away; and yet, if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, people would mock him.

8 We have a little sister whose breasts have not developed; what shall we do for our sister in the day when they shall seek her hand?

9 If she be a wall, we will build upon her an upper chamber of silver; and if she be a door, we will enclose her with boards of cedar.

10 I am a wall, and my breasts are like towers; then I was in his eyes as one who has found favor.

11 Solomon had a vineyard, and its fruits were abundant; he let out the vineyard to keepers; a man offered for its fruits a thousand pieces of silver.

12 My vineyard which is mine is before me; a thousand pieces of silver are yours, O Solomon, and two hundred for the keepers of the fruit.

13 Those who sit in the gardens and listen to your voice, have reported your words to me.

14 Make haste, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or a young hart upon the mountains of spices.

Chapter 8

1 O that you were as my brother,251 that sucked3243 the breasts7699 of my mother!517 when I should find4672 you without,2351 I would kiss5401 you; yes,1571 I should not be despised.937

2 I would lead5090 you, and bring935 you into413 my mother's517 house,1004 who would instruct3925 me: I would cause you to drink8248 of spiced7544 wine3196 of the juice6071 of my pomegranate.7416

3 His left8040 hand8040 should be under8478 my head,7218 and his right3225 hand3225 should embrace2263 me.

4 I charge7650 you, O daughters1323 of Jerusalem,3389 that you stir5782 not up, nor awake5782 my love,160 until5704 he please.2654

5 Who4310 is this2063 that comes5927 up from the wilderness,4057 leaning7514 on her beloved?1730 I raised5782 you up under8478 the apple8598 tree: there your mother517 brought2254 you forth:2254 there she brought2254 you forth2254 that bore3205 you.

6 Set7760 me as a seal2368 on your heart,3820 as a seal2368 on your arm:2220 for love160 is strong5794 as death;4194 jealousy7068 is cruel as the grave:7585 the coals7565 thereof are coals7565 of fire,784 which has a most vehement3050 flame.7957

7 Many7227 waters4325 cannot3808 3201 quench3518 love,160 neither3808 can the floods5104 drown7857 it: if518 a man376 would give5414 all3605 the substance1952 of his house1004 for love,160 it would utterly be contemned.936

8 We have a little6996 sister,269 and she has no369 breasts:7699 what4100 shall we do6213 for our sister269 in the day3117 when she shall be spoken1696 for?

9 If518 she be a wall,2346 we will build1129 on her a palace2918 of silver:3701 and if518 she be a door,1817 we will enclose6696 her with boards3871 of cedar.730

10 I am a wall,2346 and my breasts7699 like towers:4026 then227 was I in his eyes5869 as one that found4672 favor.7965

11 Solomon8010 had a vineyard3754 at Baalhamon;1174 he let5414 out the vineyard3754 to keepers;5201 every376 one376 for the fruit6529 thereof was to bring935 a thousand505 pieces of silver.3701

12 My vineyard,3754 which is mine, is before6440 me: you, O Solomon,8010 must have a thousand,505 and those that keep5201 the fruit6529 thereof two hundred.3967

13 You that dwell3427 in the gardens,1588 the companions2270 listen7181 to your voice:6963 cause me to hear8085 it.

14 Make haste,1272 my beloved,1730 and be you like1819 to a roe6643 or176 to a young6082 hart354 on the mountains2022 of spices.1314
