1O that5414 thou wert as my brother251, that sucked3243 the breasts7699 of my mother517! when I should find4672 thee without2351, I would kiss5401 thee; yea, I should not be despised936.
2I would lead5090 thee, and bring935 thee into my mother's517 house1004, who would instruct3925 me: I would cause thee to drink8248 of spiced7544 wine3196 of the juice6071 of my pomegranate7416.
3His left hand8040 should be under my head7218, and his right hand3225 should embrace2263 me.
4I charge7650 you, O daughters1323 of Jerusalem3389, that ye stir not up5782, nor awake5782 my love160, until he please2654.
5Who is this that cometh up5927 from the wilderness4057, leaning7514 upon her beloved1730? I raised5782 thee up under the apple tree8598: there thy mother517 brought thee forth2254: there she brought thee forth2254 that bare3205 thee.
6Set7760 me as a seal2368 upon thine heart3820, as a seal2368 upon thine arm2220: for love160 is strong5794 as death4194; jealousy7068 is cruel7186 as the grave7585: the coals7565 thereof are coals7565 of fire784, which hath a most vehement flame7957.
7Many7227 waters4325 cannot3201 quench3518 love160, neither can the floods5104 drown7857 it: if a man376 would give5414 all the substance1952 of his house1004 for love160, it would utterly936 be contemned936.
8We have a little6996 sister269, and she hath no breasts7699: what shall we do6213 for our sister269 in the day3117 when she shall be spoken for1696?
9If she be a wall2346, we will build1129 upon her a palace2918 of silver3701: and if she be a door1817, we will inclose6696 her with boards3871 of cedar730.
10I am a wall2346, and my breasts7699 like towers4026: then was I in his eyes5869 as one that found4672 favour7965.
11Solomon8010 had a vineyard3754 at Baalhamon1174; he let out5414 the vineyard3754 unto keepers5201; every one376 for the fruit6529 thereof was to bring935 a thousand505 pieces of silver3701.
12My vineyard3754, which is mine, is before6440 me: thou, O Solomon8010, must have a thousand505, and those that keep5201 the fruit6529 thereof two hundred3967.
13Thou that dwellest3427 in the gardens1588, the companions2270 hearken7181 to thy voice6963: cause me to hear8085 it.
14Make haste1272, my beloved1730, and be thou like1819 to a roe6643 or to a young6082 hart354 upon the mountains2022 of spices1314.
