WORD Research this...Song of Songs 2
- 1 I am a rose of Sharon, a flower of the valleys.
- 2 As the lily-flower among the thorns of the waste, so is my love among the daughters.
- 3 As the apple-tree among the trees of the wood, so is my loved one among the sons. I took my rest under his shade with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
- 4 He took me to the house of wine, and his flag over me was love.
- 5 Make me strong with wine-cakes, let me be comforted with apples; I am overcome with love.
- 6 His left hand is under my head, and his right hand is round about me.
- 7 I say to you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes of the field, do not let love be moved till it is ready.
- 8 The voice of my loved one! See, he comes dancing on the mountains, stepping quickly on the hills.
- 9 My loved one is like a roe; see, he is on the other side of our wall, he is looking in at the windows, letting himself be seen through the spaces.
- 10 My loved one said to me, Get up, my love, my fair one, and come away.
- 11 For, see, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;
- 12 The flowers are come on the earth; the time of cutting the vines is come, and the voice of the dove is sounding in our land;
- 13 The fig-tree puts out her green fruit and the vines with their young fruit give a good smell. Get up from your bed, my beautiful one, and come away.
- 14 O my dove, you are in the holes of the mountain sides, in the cracks of the high hills; let me see your face, let your voice come to my ears; for sweet is your voice, and your face is fair.
- 15 Take for us the foxes, the little foxes, which do damage to the vines; our vines have young grapes.
- 16 My loved one is mine, and I am his: he takes his food among the flowers.
- 17 Till the evening comes, and the sky slowly becomes dark, come, my loved one, and be like a roe on the mountains of Bether.
