Song of Songs 8
8
1O that youi [were] as my brother, that sucked the breasts of my mother! [when] I should find youi without, I would kiss youi; yes, I should not be despised.
2I would lead youi, [and] bring youi into my mother’s house, [who] would instruct me: I would cause youi to drink of spiced wine of the juice of my pomegranate.
3His left hand [should be] under my head, and his right hand should embrace me.
4I charge you, O daughters of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], that you2f stir not up, nor awake [my] love, until he please.
5Who [is] this that comes up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? I raised youi up under the apple tree: there youi mother brought youi forth: there she brought youi forth [that] bore youi.
6Set me as a seal upon youi heart, as a seal upon youi arm: for love [is] strong as death; jealousy [is] cruel as the grave: the coals thereof [are] coals of fire, [which has a] most vehement (violent; forceful; furious) flame.
7Many 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 scorned.
8We have a little sister, and she has no breasts: what shall we do for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for?
9If she [be] a wall, we will build upon her a palace of silver: and if she [be] a door, we will enclose her with boards of cedar.
10I [am] a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in his eyes as one that found favour.
11Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] had a vineyard at Ba’al-Hamon [lord of abundance]; he let out the vineyard unto keepers; every one for the fruit thereof was to bring a thousand [pieces] of silver.
12My vineyard, which [is] my, [is] before me: youi, O Shlomo (Solomon) [peace], [must have] a thousand, and those that keep the fruit thereof two hundred.
13youi that dwell in the gardens, the companions hearken to youi voice: cause me to hear [it].
14Make haste, my beloved, and be youi like to a roe or to a young deer upon the mountains of spices.
