O that like a brother who nursed at my mother’s breasts ! If I found you outdoors , I would kiss you , and no one would despise
I would lead you and bring you to the house of my mother who taught me. I would give you spiced wine to drink , the nectar of my pomegranates.
His left hand is under my head , and his right arm embraces me.
O daughters of Jerusalem , ... I adjure you : Do not arouse ... or awaken - love until the time is right.
Who is this coming up from the wilderness , leaning on her beloved ? I roused you under the apple tree ; there your mother conceived you ; there she travailed and brought you forth.
Set me as a seal over your heart , as a seal upon your arm. For love is as strong as death , its jealousy as unrelenting as Sheol. Its sparks are fiery flames , the fiercest blaze of all.
Mighty waters cannot ... quench - love ; rivers cannot sweep it away. If a man - were to give all the wealth of his house for love , (his offer) would be utterly scorned ...
We have a little sister , and her breasts are not yet grown. What shall we do for our sister on the day she is spoken for ?
If she is a wall , we will build a tower of silver upon her. If she is a door , we will enclose her with panels of cedar.
I am a wall , and my breasts are like towers. So I have become in his eyes like one who brings peace.
Solomon had a vineyard vvv in Baal-hamon. He leased - (it) to the tenants. For its fruit , each was to bring a thousand (shekels) of silver.
(But) my own vineyard is mine to give ; the thousand (shekels) O Solomon , and two hundred are for those who tend - its fruit.
You who dwell in the gardens , (my) companions are listening for your voice. Let me hear it !
Come away , my beloved , and be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of spices.
