WORD Research this...Song of Songs 8
- 1 Oh that you were my brother, who took milk from my mother's breasts! When I came to you in the street, I would give you kisses; yes, I would not be looked down on.
- 2 I would take you by the hand into my mother's house, and she would be my teacher. I would give you drink of spiced wine, drink of the pomegranate.
- 3 His left hand would be under my head, and his right hand about me.
- 4 I say to you, O daughters of Jerusalem, do not let love be moved till it is ready.
- 5 Who is this, who comes up from the waste places, resting on her loved one? It was I who made you awake under the apple-tree, where your mother gave you birth; there she was in pain at your birth.
- 6 Put me as a sign on your heart, as a sign on your arm; love is strong as death, and wrath bitter as the underworld: its coals are coals of fire; violent are its flames.
- 7 Much water may not put out love, or the deep waters overcome it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would be judged a price not great enough.
- 8 We have a young sister, and she has no breasts; what are we to do for our sister in the day when she is given to a man?
- 9 If she is a wall, we will make on her a strong base of silver; and if she is a door, we will let her be shut up with cedar-wood.
- 10 I am a wall, and my breasts are like towers; then was I in his eyes as one to whom good chance had come.
- 11 Solomon had a vine-garden at Baal-hamon; he let out the vine-garden to keepers; every one had to give a thousand bits of silver for its fruit.
- 12 My vine-garden, which is mine, is before me: you, O Solomon, will have the thousand, and those who keep the fruit of them two hundred.
- 13 You who have your resting-place in the gardens, the friends give ear to your voice; make me give ear to it.
- 14 Come quickly, my loved one, and be like a roe on the mountains of spice.
