O that <H5414> thou [wert] as my brother, <H0251> that sucked <H3243> the breasts <H7699> of my mother! <H0517> [when] I should find <H4672> thee without, <H2351> I would kiss <H5401> thee; yea, I should not be despised. <H0936>
2
I would lead <H5090> thee, [and] bring <H0935> thee into my mother's <H0517> house, <H1004> [who] would instruct <H3925> me: I would cause thee to drink <H8248> of spiced <H7544> wine <H3196> of the juice <H6071> of my pomegranate. <H7416>
3
His left hand <H8040> [should be] under my head, <H7218> and his right hand <H3225> should embrace <H2263> me.
4
I charge <H7650> you, O daughters <H1323> of Jerusalem, <H3389> that ye stir not up, <H5782> nor awake <H5782> [my] love, <H0160> until he please. <H2654>
5
Who [is] this that cometh up <H5927> from the wilderness, <H4057> leaning <H7514> upon her beloved? <H1730> I raised thee up <H5782> under the apple tree: <H8598> there thy mother <H0517> brought thee forth: <H2254> there she brought thee forth <H2254> [that] bare <H3205> thee.
6
Set <H7760> me as a seal <H2368> upon thine heart, <H3820> as a seal <H2368> upon thine arm: <H2220> for love <H0160> [is] strong <H5794> as death; <H4194> jealousy <H7068> [is] cruel <H7186> as the grave: <H7585> the coals <H7565> thereof [are] coals <H7565> of fire, <H0784> [which hath a] most vehement flame. <H7957>
7
Many <H7227> waters <H4325> cannot <H3808> <H3201> quench <H3518> love, <H0160> neither <H3808> can the floods <H5104> drown <H7857> it: if [a] man <H0376> would give <H5414> all the substance <H1952> of his house <H1004> for love, <H0160> it would utterly <H0936> be contemned. <H0936>
8
We have a little <H6996> sister, <H0269> and she hath no breasts: <H7699> what shall we do <H6213> for our sister <H0269> in the day <H3117> when she shall be spoken for? <H1696>
9
If she [be] a wall, <H2346> we will build <H1129> upon her a palace <H2918> of silver: <H3701> and if she [be] a door, <H1817> we will inclose <H6696> her with boards <H3871> of cedar. <H0730>
10
I [am] a wall, <H2346> and my breasts <H7699> like towers: <H4026> then was I in his eyes <H5869> as one that found <H4672> favour. <H7965>
11
Solomon <H8010> had a vineyard <H3754> at Baalhamon; <H1174> he let out <H5414> the vineyard <H3754> unto keepers; <H5201> every one <H0376> for the fruit <H6529> thereof was to bring <H0935> a thousand <H0505> [pieces] of silver. <H3701>
12
My vineyard, <H3754> which [is] mine, [is] before <H6440> me: thou, O Solomon, <H8010> [must have] a thousand, <H0505> and those that keep <H5201> the fruit <H6529> thereof two hundred. <H3967>
13
Thou that dwellest <H3427> in the gardens, <H1588> the companions <H2270> hearken <H7181> to thy voice: <H6963> cause me to hear <H8085> [it].
14
Make haste, <H1272> my beloved, <H1730> and be thou like <H1819> to a roe <H6643> or to a young <H6082> hart <H0354> upon the mountains <H2022> of spices. <H1314>
