Song of Solomon  


8 : 1 Oh that you were like a brother to mewho nursed at my mother's breasts!If I found you outside, I would kiss you,and none would despise me.
8 : 2 I would lead you andbring youinto the house of my mother&emdash;she who used to teach me.I would give youspiced wine to drink,the juice of my pomegranate.
8 : 3 His left hand is under my head,and his right hand embraces me!
8 : 4 Iadjure you, Odaughters of Jerusalem,that you not stir up or awaken loveuntil it pleases.
8 : 5 Who is that coming up from the wilderness,leaning on her beloved?Under the apple tree I awakened you.There your mother was in labor with you;there she who bore you was in labor.
8 : 6 Set me as a seal upon your heart,asa seal upon your arm,forlove is strong as death,jealousyis fierce as the grave.Its flashes are flashes of fire,the veryflame of theLord.
8 : 7 Many waters cannot quench love,neither can floods drown it.If a man offered for loveall the wealth of hishouse,hewould be utterly despised.
8 : 8 We have a little sister,and shehas no breasts.What shall we do for our sisteron the day when she is spoken for?
8 : 9 If she is a wall,we will build on her a battlement of silver,but if she is a door,we will enclose her withboards of cedar.
8 : 10 I was a wall,and mybreasts were like towers;then I was in his eyesas one who findspeace.
8 : 11 Solomon hada vineyard at Baal-hamon;helet out the vineyard tokeepers;each one was to bring for its fruita thousand pieces of silver.
8 : 12 My vineyard, my very own, is before me;you, O Solomon, may have the thousand,andthe keepers of the fruit two hundred.
8 : 13 O you who dwell in the gardens,withcompanions listening for your voice;let me hear it.
8 : 14 Make haste, my beloved,and belike a gazelleor a young stagonthe mountains of spices.
