chapter_Song_of Solomon 8
Song of Solomon 8:1: Who doth make thee as a brother to me, Sucking the breasts of my mother? I find thee without, I kiss thee, Yea, they do not despise me, Song of Solomon 8:2: I lead thee, I bring thee in unto my mother's house, She doth teach me, I cause thee to drink of the perfumed wine, Of the juice of my pomegranate, Song of Solomon 8:3: His left hand is under my head, And his right doth embrace me. Song of Solomon 8:4: I have adjured you, daughters of Jerusalem, How ye stir up, And how ye wake the love till she please! Song of Solomon 8:5: Who is this coming from the wilderness, Hasting herself for her beloved? Under the citron-tree I have waked thee, There did thy mother pledge thee, There she gave a pledge that bare thee. Song of Solomon 8:6: 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! Song of Solomon 8:7: 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 &#8212; they tread upon it. Song of Solomon 8:8: We have a little sister, and breasts she hath not, What do we do for our sister, In the day that it is told of her? Song of Solomon 8:9: 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. Song of Solomon 8:10: I am a wall, and my breasts as towers, Then I have been in his eyes as one finding peace. Song of Solomon 8:11: Solomon hath a vineyard in Baal-Hamon, He hath given the vineyard to keepers, Each bringeth for its fruit a thousand silverlings; Song of Solomon 8:12: My vineyard &#8212; my own &#8212; is before me, The thousand is for thee, O Solomon. And the two hundred for those keeping its fruit. O dweller in gardens! Song of Solomon 8:13: The companions are attending to thy voice, Cause me to hear. Flee, my beloved, and be like to a roe, Song of Solomon 8:14: Or to a young one of the harts on mountains of spices!
