Longing for Her Beloved

8O that you [were] to me like a brother who nursed at my mother’s breasts! If I found you outdoors, I would kiss you, and no one would despise me.

2I would lead you and bring you to the house of my mother who taught me. I would give you spiced wine to drink, the nectar of my pomegranates.

3His left hand is under my head, and his right arm embraces me.

4O daughters of Jerusalem, I adjure you: Do not arouse or awaken love until the time is right.

The Friends

The Bride

5Who is this coming up from the wilderness, leaning on her beloved? I roused you under the apple tree; there your mother conceived you; there she travailed and brought you forth.

6Set me as a seal over your heart, as a seal upon your arm. For love is as strong as death, its jealousy[fn] as unrelenting as Sheol. Its sparks are fiery flames, the fiercest blaze of all.

7Mighty waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot sweep it away. If a man were to give all the wealth of his house for love, [his offer] would be utterly scorned

The Friends

8We have a little sister, and her breasts are not yet grown. What shall we do for our sister on the day she is spoken for?

9If she is a wall, we will build a tower of silver upon her. If she is a door, we will enclose her with panels of cedar.

The Bride

10I am a wall, and my breasts are like towers. So I have become in his eyes like one who brings peace.

11Solomon had a vineyard in Baal-hamon. He leased [it] to the tenants. For its fruit, each was to bring a thousand [shekels] of silver.[fn]

12[But] my own vineyard is mine to give; the thousand [shekels] are for you, O Solomon, and two hundred are for those who tend its fruit.

The Bridegroom

13You who dwell in the gardens, [my] companions are listening for your voice. Let me hear it!

The Bride

14Come away, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of spices.


8:6 Or passion

8:11 Hebrew a thousand of silver; that is, approximately 25.1 pounds or 11.4 kilograms of silver
