Song of Solomon 8:5

(To the Daughters of Jerusalem)

3 ^aHis left hand is under my head,
And his right hand embraces me.

4 ^aI charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
Do not stir up nor awaken love
Until it pleases.

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.

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.

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.

The Shulamite’s Brothers

8 ^aWe have a little sister,
And she has no breasts.
What shall we do for our sister
In the day when she is spoken for?

9 If she is a wall,
We will build upon her
A battlement of silver;
And if she is a door,
We will enclose her
With boards of cedar.

The Shulamite

10 I am a wall,
And my breasts like towers;
Then I became in his eyes
As one who found peace.

11 Solomon had a vineyard at Baal Hamon;
^aHe leased the vineyard to keepers;
Everyone was to bring for its fruit
A thousand silver coins.

(To Solomon)

12 My own vineyard is before me.
You, O Solomon, may have a thousand,
And those who tend its fruit two hundred.

The Beloved

13 You who dwell in the gardens,
The companions listen for your voice—
^aLet me hear it!

The Shulamite

14 ^aMake¹ haste, my beloved,
And ^bbe like a gazelle
Or a young stag
On the mountains of spices.
