SOS-8:1 O that thou [wert] as my brother, that sucked the
breasts of my
mother! [when] I should find thee without, I would kiss thee;
yea, I should
not be despised.
SOS-8:2 I would lead thee, [and] bring thee into my mother's
house, [who]
would instruct me: I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine of
the juice of
my pomegranate.
SOS-8:3 His left hand [should be] under my head, and his right
hand should
embrace me.
SOS-8:4 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir
not up, nor
awake [my] love, until he please.
SOS-8:5 Who [is] this that cometh up from the wilderness,
leaning upon her
beloved? I raised thee up under the apple tree: there thy mother
brought thee
forth: there she brought thee forth [that] bare thee.
SOS-8:6 Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine
arm: for love
[is] strong as death; jealousy [is] cruel as the grave: the
coals thereof
[are] coals of fire, [which hath a] most vehement flame.
SOS-8:7 Many 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 contemned.
SOS-8:8 We have a little sister, and she hath no breasts: what
shall we do
for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for?
SOS-8:9 If 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.
SOS-8:10 I [am] a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I
in his eyes as
one that found favour.
SOS-8:11 Solomon had a vineyard at Baalhamon; he let out the
vineyard unto
keepers; every one for the fruit thereof was to bring a thousand
[pieces] of
silver.
SOS-8:12 My vineyard, which [is] mine, [is] before me: thou, O
Solomon, [must
have] a thousand, and those that keep the fruit thereof two
hundred.
SOS-8:13 Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the companions
hearken to thy
voice: cause me to hear [it].
SOS-8:14 Make haste, my beloved, and be thou like to a roe or
to a young hart
upon the mountains of spices.
