Who is this that
cometh
up
from the wilderness, leaning
upon
her beloved? I
raised
thee
up
under the apple
tree :
there thy mother brought
thee forth:
there she brought
thee
forth
that bare thee.
Who `
is '
this coming
from the wilderness, Hasting
herself
for

Set me as a seal upon
thine
heart, as a seal upon
thine arm :
for love
is
strong as death ;
jealousy
is cruel
as the
grave:
the
coals
thereof
are coals
of fire, which
hath
a most
vehement
flame .
Set me as a seal on
thy
heart, as a seal on
thine arm ,
For strong as death is love,
Sharp
as Sheol
is
jealousy,
Its
burnings
`
are '
burnings
of fire, a flame of
Jah!
Many waters cannot
quench love, neither
can
the
floods drown
it :
if a
man
would
give all the substance
of his house for love, it would
utterly
be
contemned
.
Many waters are
not
able
to
quench the
love, And
floods do
not
wash
it away.
If one
give all the wealth
of his house for love, Treading
down
--
they
tread
upon
it.

be
spoken
for
?

What do
we do for our sister ,
In the day that

a wall, we will
build upon
her a palace of silver :
and if she be
a door, we will
inclose
her with
boards
of cedar.
If she is
a wall, we build by
her a palace of silver .
And if she is
a door, We fashion
by
her board-work
of cedar.

in his eyes as one finding
peace
.

for the
fruit thereof
was
to
bring
a thousand pieces

the harts
on
mountains of spices !
