Song of Solomon 1 1. The song <7892> of songs <7892>, which <0834> [is] Solomon's <8010>. 2. Let him kiss <5401> me with the kisses <5390> of his mouth <6310>: for thy love <1730> [is] better <2896> than wine <3196>. 3 Because of the savour <7381> of thy good <2896> ointments <8081> thy name <8034> [is as] ointment <8081> poured <7324> forth, therefore do the virgins <5959> love <0157> thee. 4 Draw <4900> me, we will run <7323> after <0310> thee: the king <4428> hath brought <0935> me into his chambers <2315>: we will be glad <1528> and rejoice <8055> in thee, we will remember <2142> thy love <1730> more than wine <3196>: the upright <4339> love <0157> thee. 5 I [am] black <7838>, but comely <5000>, O ye daughters <1121> of Jerusalem <3389>, as the tents <0168> of Kedar <6938>, as the curtains <3407> of Solomon <8010>. 6 Look <7200> not upon me, because I [am] black <7840>, because the sun <8121> hath looked <7805> upon me: my mother's <0517> children <1121> were angry <2734> with me; they made <7760> me the keeper <5201> of the vineyards <3754>; [but] mine own vineyard <3754> have I not kept <5201>. 7. Tell <5046> me, O thou whom my soul <5315> loveth <0157>, where <0349> thou feedest <7462>, where <0349> thou makest [thy flock] to rest <7257> at noon <6672>: for why <4100> should I be as one that turneth <5844> aside <5844> by the flocks <5739> of thy companions <2270>? 8 If <0518> thou know <3045> not, O thou fairest <3303> among women <0802>, go <3318> thy way <1870> forth <3318> by the footsteps <6119> of the flock <6629>, and feed <7462> thy kids <1423> beside <5921> the shepherds <7462>' tents <4908>. 9 I have compared <1819> thee, O my love <7474>, to a company of horses <5484> in Pharaoh's <6547> chariots <7393>. 10 Thy cheeks <3895> are comely <4998> with rows <8447> [of jewels], thy neck <6677> with chains <2737> [of gold]. 11 We will make <6213> thee borders <8447> of gold <2091> with studs <5351> of silver <3701>. 12. While <5704> the king <4428> [sitteth] at his table <5424>, my spikenard <5373> sendeth <5414> forth the smell <7381> thereof. 13 A bundle <6872> of myrrh <4753> [is] my wellbeloved <1730> unto me; he shall lie <3885> all <3605> night betwixt <0996> my breasts <7699>. 14 My beloved <1730> [is] unto me [as] a cluster <0811> of camphire <3724> in the vineyards <3754> of Engedi <5872>. 15 Behold <2009>, thou [art] fair <3302>, my love <7474>; behold <2009>, thou [art] fair <3302>; thou [hast] doves <3123>' eyes <5869>. 16 Behold <2009>, thou [art] fair <3302>, my beloved <0157>, yea <0637>, pleasant <5273>: also <0637> our bed <6210> [is] green <7488>. 17 The beams <6982> of our house <1004> [are] cedar <0730>, [and] our rafters <7351> of fir <1265>. Song of Solomon 2 1. I [am] the rose <2261> of Sharon <8289>, [and] the lily <7799> of the valleys <6010>. 2 As the lily <7799> among <0996> thorns <2336>, so <3651> [is] my love <7474> among <0996> the daughters <1121>. 3. As the apple <8598> tree <6086> among the trees <6086> of the wood <3293>, so <3651> [is] my beloved <1730> among <0996> the sons <1121>. I sat <3427> down under his shadow <6738> with great delight <2530>, and his fruit <6529> [was] sweet <4966> to my taste <2441>. 4 He brought <0935> me to the banqueting <3196> house <1004>, and his banner <1714> over <5921> me [was] love <0160>. 5 Stay <5564> me with flagons <0809>, comfort <7502> me with apples <8598>: for I [am] sick <2470> of love <0160>. 6 His left <8040> hand <8040> [is] under <8478> my head <7218>, and his right <3225> hand <3225> doth embrace <2263> me. 7 I charge <7650> you, O ye daughters <1121> of Jerusalem <3389>, by the roes <6643>, and by the hinds <0355> of the field <7704>, that ye stir <5782> not up, nor <0518> awake <5782> [my] love <0160>, till <5704> he please <2654>. 8. The voice <6963> of my beloved <1730>! behold <2009>, he cometh <0935> leaping <1801> upon the mountains <2022>, skipping <7092> upon the hills <1389>. 9 My beloved <1730> is like <1819> a roe <6643> or <0176> a young <6082> hart <0354>: behold <2009>, he standeth <5975> behind <0310> our wall <3796>, he looketh <7688> forth at <4480> the windows <2474>, shewing <6692> himself through <4480> the lattice <2762>. 10 My beloved <1730> spake <6030>, and said <0559> unto me, Rise <6965> up, my love <7474>, my fair <3302> one, and come <3212> away. 11 For, lo <2009>, the winter <5638> is past <5674>, the rain <1653> is over <2798> [and] gone <1980>; 12 The flowers <5339> appear <7200> on the earth <0776>; the time <6256> of the singing <2158> [of birds] is come <5060>, and the voice <6963> of the turtle <8449> is heard <8085> in our land <0776>; 13 The fig <8384> tree putteth <2590> forth <2590> her green <6291> figs <6291>, and the vines <1612> [with] the tender grape <5563> give <5414> a [good] smell <7381>. Arise <6965>, my love <7474>, my fair <3302> one, and come <3212> away. 14. O my dove <3123>, [that art] in the clefts <2288> of the rock <5553>, in the secret <5643> [places] of the stairs <4095>, let me see <7200> thy countenance <4758>, let me hear <8085> thy voice <6963>; for sweet <6149> [is] thy voice <6963>, and thy countenance <4758> [is] comely <5000>. 15 Take <0270> us the foxes <7776>, the little <6996> foxes <7776>, that spoil <2254> the vines <3754>: for our vines <3754> [have] tender grapes <5563>. 16 My beloved <1730> [is] mine, and I [am] his: he feedeth <7462> among the lilies <7799>. 17 Until <5704> the day <3117> break <6315>, and the shadows <6752> flee <5127> away, turn <5437>, my beloved <1730>, and be thou like <1819> a roe <6643> or <0176> a young <6082> hart <0354> upon the mountains <2022> of Bether <1336>. Song of Solomon 3 1. By night <3915> on <5921> my bed <4904> I sought <1245> him whom my soul <5315> loveth <0157>: I sought <1245> him, but I found <4672> him not. 2 I will rise <6965> now <4994>, and go <5437> about <5437> the city <5892> in the streets <7784>, and in the broad <7339> ways <7339> I will seek <1245> him whom my soul <5315> loveth <0157>: I sought him, but I found <4672> him not. 3 The watchmen <8104> that go <5437> about <5437> the city <5892> found <4672> me: [to whom I said], Saw <7200> ye him whom <0853> my soul <5315> loveth <0157>? 4 [It was] but a little <4592> that I passed <5674> from them, but I found <4672> him whom my soul <5315> loveth <0157>: I held <0270> him, and would not let him go <7503>, until <5704> I had brought <0935> him into <0413> my mother's <0517> house <1004>, and into <0413> the chamber <2315> of her that conceived <2030> me. 5 I charge <7650> you, O ye daughters <1121> of Jerusalem <3389>, by the roes <6643>, and by the hinds <0355> of the field <7704>, that ye stir <5782> not up, nor <0518> awake <5782> [my] love <0160>, till <5704> he please <2654>. 6. Who <4310> [is] this <2063> that cometh <5927> out of the wilderness <4057> like pillars <8490> of smoke <6227>, perfumed <6999> with myrrh <4753> and frankincense <3828>, with all <3605> powders <81> of the merchant <7402>? 7. Behold <2009> his bed <4296>, which [is] Solomon's <8010>; threescore <7657> valiant <1368> men [are] about <5439> it, of the valiant <1368> of Israel <3478>. 8 They all <3605> hold <0270> swords <2719>, [being] expert <3925> in war <4421>: every man <0376> [hath] his sword <2719> upon his thigh <3409> because of fear <6343> in the night <3915>. 9 King <4428> Solomon <8010> made <6213> himself a chariot <0668> of the wood <6086> of Lebanon <3844>. 10 He made <6213> the pillars <5982> thereof [of] silver <3701>, the bottom <7507> thereof [of] gold <2091>, the covering <4817> of it [of] purple <0713>, the midst <8432> thereof being paved <7528> [with] love <0160>, for the daughters <1121> of Jerusalem <3389>. 11 Go <3318> forth <3318>, O ye daughters <1121> of Zion <6726>, and behold <7200> king <4428> Solomon <8010> with the crown <5850> wherewith his mother <0517> crowned <5849> him in the day <3117> of his espousals <2861>, and in the day <3117> of the gladness <8057> of his heart <3820>. Song of Solomon 4 1. Behold <2009>, thou [art] fair <3302>, my love <7474>; behold <2009>, thou [art] fair <3302>; thou [hast] doves <3123>' eyes <5869> within <1157> thy locks <6777>: thy hair <8181> [is] as a flock <5739> of goats <5795>, that appear <1570> from mount <2022> Gilead <1568>. 2 Thy teeth <8127> [are] like a flock <5739> [of sheep that are even] shorn <7094>, which came <5927> up from the washing <7367>; whereof every <3605> one bear <8382> twins <8382>, and none <0369> [is] barren <7909> among them. 3 Thy lips <8193> [are] like a thread <2339> of scarlet <8144>, and thy speech <4057> [is] comely <5000>: thy temples <7451> [are] like a piece <6400> of a pomegranate <7416> within <1157> thy locks <6777>. 4 Thy neck <6677> [is] like the tower <4026> of David <1732> builded <1129> for an armoury <8530>, whereon <5921> there hang <8518> a thousand <0505> bucklers <4043>, all <3605> shields <7982> of mighty <1368> men. 5 Thy two <8147> breasts <7699> [are] like two <8147> young <6082> roes <6646> that are twins <8380>, which feed <7462> among the lilies <7799>. 6 Until <5704> the day <3117> break <6315>, and the shadows <6752> flee <5127> away, I will get <3212> me to the mountain <2022> of myrrh <4753>, and to the hill <1389> of frankincense <3828>. 7 Thou [art] all <3605> fair <3302>, my love <7474>; [there is] no <0369> spot <3971> in thee. 8. Come <0935> with me from Lebanon <3844>, [my] spouse <3618>, with me from Lebanon <3844>: look <7789> from the top <7218> of Amana <0549>, from the top <7218> of Shenir <8149> and Hermon <2768>, from the lions <0738>' dens <4585>, from the mountains <2042> of the leopards <5246>. 9 Thou hast ravished <3823> my heart <3823>, my sister <0269>, [my] spouse <3618>; thou hast ravished <3823> my heart <3823> with one <0259> of thine eyes <5869>, with one <0259> chain <6060> of thy neck <6677>. 10 How <4100> fair <3302> is thy love <1730>, my sister <0269>, [my] spouse <3618>! how <4100> much better <2896> is thy love <1730> than wine <3196>! and the smell <7381> of thine ointments <8081> than all <3605> spices <1314>! 11 Thy lips <8193>, O [my] spouse <3618>, drop <5197> [as] the honeycomb <5317>: honey <1706> and milk <2461> [are] under <8478> thy tongue <3956>; and the smell <7381> of thy garments <8008> [is] like the smell <7381> of Lebanon <3844>. 12 A garden <1588> inclosed <5274> [is] my sister <0269>, [my] spouse <3618>; a spring <1530> shut <5274> up, a fountain <4599> sealed <2856>. 13 Thy plants <7973> [are] an orchard <6508> of pomegranates <7416>, with pleasant <4022> fruits <6529>; camphire <3724>, with spikenard <5373>, 14 Spikenard <5373> and saffron <3750>; calamus <7070> and cinnamon <7076>, with all <3605> trees <6086> of frankincense <3828>; myrrh <4753> and aloes <0174>, with all <3605> the chief <7218> spices <1314>: 15. A fountain <4599> of gardens <1588>, a well <0875> of living <2416> waters <4325>, and streams <5140> from Lebanon <3844>. 16 Awake <5782>, O north <6828> wind; and come <0935>, thou south <8486>; blow <6315> upon my garden <1588>, [that] the spices <1314> thereof may flow <5140> out. Let my beloved <1730> come <0935> into his garden <1588>, and eat <0398> his pleasant <4022> fruits <6529>. Song of Solomon 5 1. I am come <0935> into my garden <1588>, my sister <0269>, [my] spouse <3618>: I have gathered <0717> my myrrh <4753> with my spice <1313>; I have eaten <0398> my honeycomb <3293> with my honey <1706>; I have drunk <8354> my wine <3196> with my milk <2461>: eat <0398>, O friends <7453>; drink <8354>, yea, drink <7937> abundantly <7937>, O beloved <1730>. 2. I sleep <3463>, but my heart <3820> waketh <5782>: [it is] the voice <6963> of my beloved <1730> that knocketh <1849>, [saying], Open <6605> to me, my sister <0269>, my love <7474>, my dove <3123>, my undefiled <8535>: for my head <7218> is filled <4390> with dew <2919>, [and] my locks <6977> with the drops <7447> of the night <3915>. 3 I have put <6584> off my coat <3801>; how <0349> shall I put <3847> it on? I have washed <7364> my feet <7272>; how <0349> shall I defile <2936> them? 4 My beloved <1730> put <7971> in his hand <3027> by the hole <2356> [of the door <6607>], and my bowels <4578> were moved <1993> for him. 5 I rose <6965> up to open <6605> to my beloved <1730>; and my hands <3027> dropped <5197> [with] myrrh <4753>, and my fingers <0676> [with] sweet <5674> smelling <5674> myrrh <4753>, upon the handles <3709> of the lock <4514>. 6 I opened <6605> to my beloved <1730>; but my beloved <1730> had withdrawn <2559> himself, [and] was gone <5674>: my soul <5315> failed <3318> when he spake <1696>: I sought <1245> him, but I could not find <4672> him; I called <7121> him, but he gave me no <3808> answer <6030>. 7 The watchmen <8104> that went <5437> about <5437> the city <5892> found <4672> me, they smote <5221> me, they wounded <6481> me; the keepers <8104> of the walls <2346> took <5375> away my veil <7289> from me. 8 I charge <7650> you, O daughters <1121> of Jerusalem <3389>, if ye find <4672> my beloved <1730>, that ye tell <5046> him, that I [am] sick <2470> of love <0160>. 9. What <4100> [is] thy beloved <1730> more than [another] beloved <1730>, O thou fairest <3303> among women <0802>? what <4100> [is] thy beloved <1730> more than [another] beloved <1730>, that thou dost so <3602> charge <7650> us? 10 My beloved <1730> [is] white <6703> and ruddy <0132>, the chiefest <1713> among ten <7233> thousand <7233>. 11 His head <7218> [is as] the most <3800> fine gold <6337>, his locks <6977> [are] bushy <8534>, [and] black <7838> as a raven <6158>. 12 His eyes <5869> [are] as [the eyes <5869>] of doves <3123> by the rivers <0650> of waters <4325>, washed <7364> with milk <2461>, [and] fitly set <3427>. 13 His cheeks <3895> [are] as a bed <6170> of spices <1314>, [as] sweet <4840> flowers <4026>: his lips <8193> [like] lilies <7799>, dropping <5197> sweet <5674> smelling <5674> myrrh <4753>. 14 His hands <3027> [are as] gold <2091> rings <1550> set <4390> with the beryl <8658>: his belly <4578> [is as] bright <6247> ivory <8127> overlaid <5968> [with] sapphires <5601>. 15 His legs <7785> [are as] pillars <5982> of marble <8336>, set <3245> upon sockets <0134> of fine gold <6337>: his countenance <4758> [is] as Lebanon <3844>, excellent <0977> as the cedars <0730>. 16 His mouth <2441> [is] most sweet <4477>: yea, he [is] altogether <3605> lovely <4261>. This <2088> [is] my beloved <1730>, and this <2088> [is] my friend <7453>, O daughters <1121> of Jerusalem <3389>. Song of Solomon 6 1. Whither <0575> is thy beloved <1730> gone <1980>, O thou fairest <3303> among women <0802>? whither <0575> is thy beloved <1730> turned <6437> aside <6437>? that we may seek <1245> him with thee. 2 My beloved <1730> is gone <3381> down <3381> into his garden <1588>, to the beds <6170> of spices <1314>, to feed <7462> in the gardens <1588>, and to gather <3950> lilies <7799>. 3 I [am] my beloved's <1730>, and my beloved <1730> [is] mine: he feedeth <7462> among the lilies <7799>. 4. Thou [art] beautiful <3303>, O my love <7474>, as Tirzah <8656>, comely <5000> as Jerusalem <3389>, terrible <0366> as [an army] with banners <1713>. 5 Turn <5437> away thine eyes <5869> from me, for they have overcome <7292> me: thy hair <8181> [is] as a flock <5739> of goats <5795> that appear <1570> from Gilead <1568>. 6 Thy teeth <8127> [are] as a flock <5739> of sheep <7353> which go <5927> up from the washing <7367>, whereof every <3605> one <0259> beareth <8382> twins <8382>, and [there is] not one <0259> barren <7909> among them. 7 As a piece <6400> of a pomegranate <7416> [are] thy temples <7451> within <1157> thy locks <6777>. 8 There are threescore <7657> queens <4436>, and fourscore <8084> concubines <6370>, and virgins <5959> without <0369> number <4557>. 9 My dove <3123>, my undefiled <8535> is [but] one <0259>; she [is] the [only] one <0259> of her mother <0517>, she [is] the choice <1249> [one <0259>] of her that bare <3205> her. The daughters <1121> saw <7200> her, and blessed <0833> her; [yea], the queens <4436> and the concubines <6370>, and they praised <1984> her. 10 Who <4310> [is] she [that] looketh <8259> forth as the morning <7837>, fair <3303> as the moon <3842>, clear <1249> as the sun <2535>, [and] terrible <0366> as [an army] with banners <1713>? 11. I went <3381> down <3381> into <0413> the garden <1594> of nuts <93> to see <7200> the fruits <3> of the valley <5158>, [and] to see <7200> whether the vine <1612> flourished <6524>, [and] the pomegranates <7416> budded <5132>. 12 Or ever <3808> I was aware <3045>, my soul <5315> made <7760> me [like] the chariots <4818> of Amminadib <5993>. 13 Return <7725>, return <7725>, O Shulamite <7759>; return <7725>, return <7725>, that we may look <2372> upon thee. What <4100> will ye see <2372> in the Shulamite <7759>? As it were the company <4246> of two armies <4264>. Song of Solomon 7 1. How <4100> beautiful <3303> are thy feet <6471> with shoes <5275>, O prince's <5081> daughter <1323>! the joints <2542> of thy thighs <3409> [are] like <3644> jewels <2484>, the work <4639> of the hands <3027> of a cunning <0542> workman <0542>. 2 Thy navel <8326> [is like] a round <5469> goblet <0101>, [which] wanteth <2637> not liquor <4197>: thy belly <0990> [is like] an heap <6194> of wheat <2406> set <5473> about <5473> with lilies <7799>. 3 Thy two <8147> breasts <7699> [are] like two <8147> young <6082> roes <6646> [that are] twins <8380>. 4 Thy neck <6677> [is] as a tower <4026> of ivory <8127>; thine eyes <5869> [like] the fishpools <1295> in Heshbon <2809>, by the gate <8179> of Bathrabbim <1337>: thy nose <0639> [is] as the tower <4026> of Lebanon <3844> which looketh <6822> toward Damascus <1834>. 5 Thine head <7218> upon thee [is] like Carmel <3760>, and the hair <1803> of thine head <7218> like purple <0713>; the king <4428> [is] held <0631> in the galleries <7298>. 6 How <4100> fair <3302> and how <4100> pleasant <5276> art thou, O love <0160>, for delights <8588>! 7 This <2063> thy stature <6967> is like <1819> to a palm <8558> tree, and thy breasts <7699> to clusters <0811> [of grapes]. 8 I said <0559>, I will go <5927> up to the palm <8558> tree, I will take <0270> hold <0270> of the boughs <5577> thereof: now <4994> also thy breasts <7699> shall be as clusters <0811> of the vine <1612>, and the smell <7381> of thy nose <0639> like apples <8598>; 9 And the roof <2441> of thy mouth <2441> like the best <2896> wine <3196> for my beloved <1730>, that goeth <1980> [down] sweetly <4339>, causing the lips <8193> of those that are asleep <3463> to speak <1680>. 10. I [am] my beloved's <1730>, and his desire <8669> [is] toward <5921> me. 11 Come <3212>, my beloved <1730>, let us go <3318> forth <3318> into the field <7704>; let us lodge <3885> in the villages <3723>. 12 Let us get up early <7925> to the vineyards <3754>; let us see <7200> if the vine <1612> flourish <6524>, [whether] the tender grape <5563> appear <6524>, [and] the pomegranates <7416> bud <5132> forth <5132>: there will I give <5414> thee my loves <1730>. 13 The mandrakes <1736> give <5414> a smell <7381>, and at <5921> our gates <6607> [are] all <3605> manner of pleasant <4022> [fruits], new <2319> and old <3465>, [which] I have laid <6845> up for thee, O my beloved <1730>. Song of Solomon 8 1. O that thou [wert] as my brother <0251>, that sucked <3243> the breasts <7699> of my mother <0517>! [when] I should find <4672> thee without <2351>, I would kiss <5401> thee; yea <1571>, I should not be despised <0937>. 2 I would lead <5090> thee, [and] bring <0935> thee into <0413> my mother's <0517> house <1004>, [who] would instruct <3925> me: I would cause thee to drink <8248> of spiced <7544> wine <3196> of the juice of my pomegranate <7416>. 3 His left <8040> hand <8040> [should be] under <8478> my head <7218>, and his right <3225> hand <3225> should embrace <2263> me. 4 I charge <7650> you, O daughters <1121> of Jerusalem <3389>, that ye stir <5782> not up, nor awake <5782> [my] love <0160>, until <5704> he please <2654>. 5. Who <4310> [is] this <2063> that cometh <5927> up from the wilderness <4057>, leaning <7514> upon her beloved <1730>? I raised <5782> thee up under <8478> the apple <8598> tree: there thy mother <0517> brought <2254> thee forth <2254>: there she brought <2254> thee forth <2254> [that] bare <3205> thee. 6 Set <7760> me as a seal <2368> upon thine heart <3820>, as a seal <2368> upon thine arm <2220>: for love <0160> [is] strong <5794> as death <4194>; jealousy <7068> [is] cruel as the grave <7585>: the coals <7565> thereof [are] coals <7565> of fire <0784>, [which hath a] most vehement <3050> flame <7957>. 7 Many <7227> waters <4325> cannot quench <3518> love <0160>, neither <3808> can the floods <5104> drown <7857> it: if <0518> [a] man <0376> would give <5414> all <3605> the substance <1952> of his house <1004> for love <0160>, it would utterly be contemned <0936>. 8. We have a little <6996> sister <0269>, and she hath no <0369> breasts <7699>: what <4100> shall we do <6213> for our sister <0269> in the day <3117> when she shall be spoken <1696> for? 9 If <0518> she [be] a wall <2346>, we will build <1129> upon her a palace <2918> of silver <3701>: and if she [be] a door <1817>, we will inclose <6696> her with boards <3871> of cedar <0730>. 10 I [am] a wall <2346>, and my breasts <7699> like towers <4026>: then <0227> was I in his eyes <5869> as one that found <4672> favour <7965>. 11 Solomon <8010> had a vineyard <3754> at Baalhamon <1174>; he let <5414> out the vineyard <3754> unto keepers <5201>; every <0376> one <0376> for the fruit <6529> thereof was to bring <0935> a thousand <0505> [pieces] of silver <3701>. 12 My vineyard <3754>, which [is] mine, [is] before <6440> me: thou, O Solomon <8010>, [must have] a thousand <0505>, and those that keep <5201> the fruit <6529> thereof two hundred <3967>. 13. Thou that dwellest <3427> in the gardens <1588>, the companions <2270> hearken <7181> to thy voice <6963>: cause me to hear <8085> [it]. 14 Make haste <1272>, my beloved <1730>, and be thou like <1819> to a roe <6643> or <0176> to a young <6082> hart <0354> upon the mountains <2022> of spices <1314>. ~~~~~~
