Oh
that thou
wert
as
my
brother ,
That
sucked
the
breasts
of
my mother
! `When'
I should
find
thee
without
, I would kiss thee;
Yea
, and none
would despise me.
O
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.
I would lead thee,
`
and '
bring thee
into
my
mother's
house ,
Who would
instruct
me ;
I would cause
thee
to
drink
of
spiced wine, Of
the juice
of my pomegranate
.
I would lead you
and bring you
to
the
house of
my
mother
who taught

you,
O daughters of Jerusalem, That

not up,

please

Who is this that
cometh
up from the wilderness, Leaning upon
her beloved? Under the apple -
tree I
awakened
thee:
There thy
mother was
in
travail
with
thee,
There was
she in
travail
that
brought thee
forth.
Who is this coming
up from the wilderness, leaning on
her beloved? I
roused
you
under the apple tree ;
there your
mother conceived
you;

and
brought you
forth.
Set me as a seal upon
thy
heart, As a seal upon thine
arm :
For love is strong as death ;
Jealousy is
cruel
as Sheol ;
The
flashes
thereof
are flashes
of
fire
, A
very
flame
of Jehovah
.
Set me as a seal over
your
heart, as a seal upon your
arm .
For love is as
strong as death ,
its
jealousy as unrelenting
as
Sheol .
Its
sparks
are fiery
flames
, the
fiercest
blaze
of all
.
Many
waters cannot quench love ,
Neither
can
floods
drown
it :
If a man would
give all the substance
of his house for love, He
would utterly
be contemned
.
Mighty
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
.

hath
no
breasts :
What shall we do for our sister In
the day when
she shall
be
spoken for?

breasts are
not
yet
grown.
What shall we do for our sister on
the day she is
spoken for?
If she be
a wall, We will build upon
her
a turret
of silver :
And
if she be
a door, We will inclose
her with boards
of cedar.

a wall, we will build a tower
of silver to
protect
her.
If she is
a door, we will enclose
her with panels
of cedar.
I am a wall, and my breasts like the
towers `thereof'
Then
was
I in his eyes as
one that
found
peace.
I am a wall, and my breasts are
like towers .
So
I have
become
in his eyes like
one who
brings
peace.
Solomon had a vineyard at
Baal-hamon ;
He let
out
the vineyard
unto
keepers;
Every
one
for the
fruit thereof
was to bring a thousand `pieces'
of silver.
Solomon had a vineyard in
Baal-hamon .
He leased
it
to
the tenants.

which
is mine ,
is
before
me:
Thou
, O Solomon, shalt
have
the
thousand,
And those
that
keep
the
fruit
thereof
two hundred.
But

vineyard is mine to
give;
the
thousand
shekels
are
for
you
, O Solomon, and two hundred are
for
those
who
tend
its
fruit
.
Thou
that
dwellest
in the gardens, The

for thy
voice :

in the gardens, my
companions are
listening
for your
voice .
Let
me hear it !

or to
a young hart
Upon
the mountains of spices.

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