The Song of Songs 1:1--8:14

The song
<07892>
of songs
<07892>_,
which [is] Solomon's
<08010>_.
Let him kiss
<05401> (8799)
me with the kisses
<05390>
of his mouth
<06310>_:
for thy love
<01730>
[is] better
<02896>
than wine
<03196>_.
{thy...: Heb. thy loves}
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.
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. {the upright...: or, they love thee uprightly}
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>_.
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)_.
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>_?
{as one...: or, as one that is veiled}
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>_.
I have compared
<01819> (8765)
thee, O my love
<07474>_,
to a company of horses
<05484>
in Pharaoh's
<06547>
chariots
<07393>_.
Thy cheeks
<03895>
are comely
<04998> (8773)
with rows
<08447>
[of jewels], thy neck
<06677>
with chains
<02737>
[of gold].
We will make
<06213> (8799)
thee borders
<08447>
of gold
<02091>
with studs
<05351>
of silver
<03701>_.
While the king
<04428>
[sitteth] at his table
<04524>_,
my spikenard
<05373>
sendeth forth
<05414> (8804)
the smell
<07381>
thereof.
A bundle
<06872>
of myrrh
<04753>
[is] my wellbeloved
<01730>
unto me; he shall lie
<03885> (8799)
all night betwixt my breasts
<07699>_.
My beloved
<01730>
[is] unto me [as] a cluster
<0811>
of camphire
<03724>
in the vineyards
<03754>
of Engedi
<05872>_.
{camphire: or, cypress}
Behold, thou [art] fair
<03303>_,
my love
<07474>_;
behold, thou [art] fair
<03303>_;
thou [hast] doves
<03123>_'
eyes
<05869>_.
{my love: or, my companion}
Behold, thou [art] fair
<03303>_,
my beloved
<01730>_,
yea, pleasant
<05273>_:
also our bed
<06210>
[is] green
<07488>_.
The beams
<06982>
of our house
<01004>
[are] cedar
<0730>_,
[and] our rafters
<07351> (8675) <07351>
of fir
<01266>_.
{rafters: or, galleries}
I [am] the rose
<02261>
of Sharon
<08289>_,
[and] the lily
<07799>
of the valleys
<06010>_.
As the lily
<07799>
among thorns
<02336>_,
so [is] my love
<07474>
among the daughters
<01323>_.
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>_.
{I sat...: Heb. I delighted and sat down, etc} {taste: Heb. palate}
He brought
<0935> (8689)
me to the banqueting
<03196>
house
<01004>_,
and his banner
<01714>
over me [was] love
<0160>_.
{banqueting...: Heb. house of wine}
Stay
<05564> (8761)
me with flagons
<0809>_,
comfort
<07502> (8761)
me with apples
<08598>_:
for I [am] sick
<02470> (8802)
of love
<0160>_.
{comfort...: Heb. straw me with apples}
His left hand
<08040>
[is] under my head
<07218>_,
and his right hand
<03225>
doth embrace
<02263> (8762)
me.
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)_.
{I charge...: Heb. I adjure you}
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>_.
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>_.
{shewing...: Heb. flourishing}
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)_.
For, lo, the winter
<05638>
is past
<05674> (8804)_,
the rain
<01653>
is over
<02498> (8804)
[and] gone
<01980> (8804)_;
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>_;
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)_.
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>_.
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>_.
My beloved
<01730>
[is] mine, and I [am] his: he feedeth
<07462> (8802)
among the lilies
<07799>_.
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>_.
{of Bether: or, of division}
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.
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.
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)_?
[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.
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)_.
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)_?
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>_.
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>_.
King
<04428>
Solomon
<08010>
made
<06213> (8804)
himself a chariot
<0668>
of the wood
<06086>
of Lebanon
<03844>_.
{a chariot: or, a bed}
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
{that...: or, that eat of, etc}
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.
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
{break: Heb. breathe}
Thou [art] all fair
<03303>_,
my love
<07474>_;
[there is] no spot
<03971>
in thee.
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>_.
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>_.
{ravished: or, taken away}
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>_!
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>_.
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)_.
{inclosed: Heb. barred} {shut up: Heb. barred}
Thy plants
<07973>
[are] an orchard
<06508>
of pomegranates
<07416>_,
with pleasant
<04022>
fruits
<06529>_;
camphire
<03724>_,

<05373>_,
{camphire: or, cypress}
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>_:
A fountain
<04599>
of gardens
<01588>_,
a well
<0875>
of living
<02416>
waters
<04325>_,
and streams
<05140> (8802)
from Lebanon
<03844>_.
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>_.
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>_.
{yea...: or, and be drunken with loves}
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>_.
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?
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. {for him: or, (as some read) in me}
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>_.
{sweet...: Heb. passing, or, running about}
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)_.
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.
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>_.
{that ye: Heb. what, etc}
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?
My beloved
<01730>
[is] white
<06703>
and ruddy
<0122>_,
the chiefest
<01713> (8803)
among ten thousand
<07233>_.
{the chiefest: Heb. a standard-bearer}
His head
<07218>
[is as] the most
<03800>
fine gold
<06337>_,
his locks
<06977>
[are] bushy
<08534>_,
[and] black
<07838>
as a raven
<06158>_.
{bushy: or, curled}
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>_.
{fitly...: Heb. sitting in fulness, that is, fitly placed, and set as a precious stone in the foil of a ring}
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>_.
{sweet flowers: or, towers of perfumes}
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
{mouth: Heb. palate}
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.
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>_.
I [am] my beloved's
<01730>_,
and my beloved
<01730>
[is] mine: he feedeth
<07462> (8802)
among the lilies
<07799>_.
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)_.
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>_.
{overcome...: or, puffed me up}
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.
As a piece
<06400>
of a pomegranate
<07416>
[are] thy temples
<07541>
within
<01157>
thy locks
<06777>_.
There are threescore
<08346>
queens
<04436>_,
and fourscore
<08084>
concubines
<06370>_,
and virgins
<05959>
without number
<04557>_.
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.
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)_?
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)_.
Or ever I was aware
<03045> (8804)_,
my soul
<05315>
made
<07760> (8804)
me [like] the chariots
<04818>
of Amminadib
<05993>_.
{Or ever...: Heb. I knew not} {made...: or, set me on the chariots of my willing people}
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>_.
{of...: or, of Mahanaim}
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>_.
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>_.
{liquor: Heb. mixture}
Thy two
<08147>
breasts
<07699>
[are] like two
<08147>
young
<06082>
roes
<06646>
[that are] twins
<08380>_.
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>_.
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>_.
{Carmel: or, crimson} {held: Heb. bound}
How fair
<03302> (8804)
and how pleasant
<05276> (8804)
art thou, O love
<0160>_,
for delights
<08588>_!
This thy stature
<06967>
is like
<01819> (8804)
to a palm tree
<08558>_,
and thy breasts
<07699>
to clusters
<0811>
[of grapes].
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>_;
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)_.
{sweetly: Heb. straightly} {of those...: or, of the ancient}
I [am] my beloved's
<01730>_,
and his desire
<08669>
[is] toward me.
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>_.
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>_.
{appear: Heb. open}
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>_.
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)_.
{I should not...: Heb. they should not despise me}
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>_.
His left hand
<08040>
[should be] under my head
<07218>_,
and his right hand
<03225>
should embrace
<02263> (8762)
me.
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)_.
{that...: Heb. why should ye stir up, or, why, etc}
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.
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>_.
{cruel: Heb. hard}
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)_.
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)_?
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>_.
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>_.
{favour: Heb. peace}
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>_.
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>_.
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].
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>_.
{Make...: Heb. Flee away}
