(To the Daughters of Jerusalem)
Love Renewed in Lebanon
A Relative
5 aWho is this coming up from the wilderness,
Leaning upon her beloved?
I awakened you under the apple tree.
There your mother brought you forth;
There she who bore you brought you forth.
Leaning upon her beloved?
I awakened you under the apple tree.
There your mother brought you forth;
There she who bore you brought you forth.
The Shulamite to Her Beloved
6 aSet me as a seal upon your heart,
As a seal upon your arm;
For love is as strong as death,
bJealousy as1 cruel as the grave;
Its flames are flames of fire,
1A most vehement flame.
As a seal upon your arm;
For love is as strong as death,
bJealousy as1 cruel as the grave;
Its flames are flames of fire,
1A most vehement flame.
7 Many waters cannot quench love,
Nor can the floods drown it.
aIf a man would give for love
All the wealth of his house,
It would be utterly despised.
Nor can the floods drown it.
aIf a man would give for love
All the wealth of his house,
It would be utterly despised.
