11 The song of songs which is Solomon's .


  • 12 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth for thy love
  • is better than wine .
  • 13 Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name is as
  • ointment poured forth therefore do the virgins love thee .
  • 14 Draw me we will run after thee the king hath brought me
  • into his chambers we will be glad and rejoice in thee we will
  • remember thy love more than wine the upright love thee .
  • 15 I am black but comely O ye daughters of Jerusalem as the
  • tents of Kedar as the curtains of Solomon .
  • 16 Look not upon me because I am black because the sun hath
  • looked upon me my mother's children were angry with me they made
  • me the keeper of the vineyards but mine own vineyard have I not
  • kept .
  • 17 Tell me O thou whom my soul loveth where thou feedest where
  • thou makest thy flock to rest at noon for why should I be as one
  • that turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions .
  • 18 If thou know not O thou fairest among women go thy way
  • forth by the footsteps of the flock and feed thy kids beside the
  • shepherds' tents .
  • 19 I have compared thee O my love to a company of horses in
  • Pharaoh's chariots .
  • 110 Thy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels thy neck with
  • chains of gold .
  • 111 We will make thee borders of gold with studs of silver .
  • 112 While the king sitteth at his table my spikenard sendeth
  • forth the smell thereof .
  • 113 A bundle of myrrh is my wellbeloved unto me he shall lie
  • all night betwixt my breasts .
  • 114 My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire in the
  • vineyards of Engedi .
  • 115 Behold thou art fair my love behold thou art fair thou
  • hast doves' eyes .
  • 116 Behold thou art fair my beloved yea pleasant also our bed
  • is green .
  • 117 The beams of our house are cedar and our rafters of fir .
  • * 21 I am the rose of Sharon and the lily of the valleys .
  • 22 As the lily among thorns so is my love among the daughters .
  • 23 As the apple tree among the trees of the wood so is my
  • beloved among the sons I sat down under his shadow with great
  • delight and his fruit was sweet to my taste .
  • 24 He brought me to the banqueting house and his banner over
  • me was love .
  • 25 Stay me with flagons comfort me with apples for I am sick
  • of love .
  • 26 His left hand is under my head and his right hand doth
  • embrace me .
  • 27 I charge you O ye daughters of Jerusalem by the roes and by
  • the hinds of the field that ye stir not up nor awake my love
  • till he please .
  • 28 The voice of my beloved behold he cometh leaping upon the
  • mountains skipping upon the hills .
  • 29 My beloved is like a roe or a young hart behold he standeth
  • behind our wall he looketh forth at the windows showing himself
  • through the lattice .
  • 210 My beloved spake and said unto me Rise up my love my fair
  • one and come away .
  • 211 For lo the winter is past the rain is over and gone .
  • 212 The flowers appear on the earth the time of the singing of
  • birds is come and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land .
  • 213 The fig tree putteth forth her green figs and the vines
  • with the tender grape give a good smell Arise my love my fair
  • one and come away .
  • 214 O my dove that art in the clefts of the rock in the secret
  • places of the stairs let me see thy countenance let me hear thy
  • voice for sweet is thy voice and thy countenance is comely .
  • 215 Take us the foxes the little foxes that spoil the vines
  • for our vines have tender grapes .
  • 216 My beloved is mine and I am his he feedeth among the
  • lilies .
  • 217 Until the day break and the shadows flee away turn my
  • beloved and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the
  • mountains of Bether .
  • * 31 By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth I
  • sought him but I found him not .
  • 32 I will rise now and go about the city in the streets and in
  • the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth I sought him
  • but I found him not .
  • 33 The watchmen that go about the city found me to whom I said
  • Saw ye him whom my soul loveth .
  • 34 It was but a little that I passed from them but I found him
  • whom my soul loveth I held him and would not let him go until I
  • had brought him into my mother's house and into the chamber of
  • her that conceived me .
  • 35 I charge you O ye daughters of Jerusalem by the roes and by
  • the hinds of the field that ye stir not up nor awake my love
  • till he please .
  • 36 Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness like pillars
  • of smoke perfumed with myrrh and frankincense with all powders
  • of the merchant .
  • 37 Behold his bed which is Solomon's threescore valiant men
  • are about it of the valiant of Israel .
  • 38 They all hold swords being expert in war every man hath his
  • sword upon his thigh because of fear in the night .
  • 39 King Solomon made himself a chariot of the wood of Lebanon .
  • 310 He made the pillars thereof of silver the bottom thereof
  • of gold the covering of it of purple the midst thereof being
  • paved with love for the daughters of Jerusalem .
  • 311 Go forth O ye daughters of Zion and behold king Solomon
  • with the crown wherewith his mother crowned him in the day of
  • his espousals and in the day of the gladness of his heart .
  • * 41 Behold thou art fair my love behold thou art fair thou
  • hast doves' eyes within thy locks thy hair is as a flock of
  • goats that appear from mount Gilead .
  • 42 Thy teeth are like a flock of sheep that are even shorn
  • which came up from the washing whereof every one bear twins and
  • none is barren among them .
  • 43 Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet and thy speech is
  • comely thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate within thy
  • locks .
  • 44 Thy neck is like the tower of David builded for an armoury
  • whereon there hang a thousand bucklers all shields of mighty men
  • .
  • 45 Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins
  • which feed among the lilies .
  • 46 Until the day break and the shadows flee away I will get me
  • to the mountain of myrrh and to the hill of frankincense .
  • 47 Thou art all fair my love there is no spot in thee .
  • 48 Come with me from Lebanon my spouse with me from Lebanon
  • look from the top of Amana from the top of Shenir and Hermon
  • from the lions' dens from the mountains of the leopards .
  • 49 Thou hast ravished my heart my sister my spouse thou hast
  • ravished my heart with one of thine eyes with one chain of thy
  • neck .
  • 410 How fair is thy love my sister my spouse how much better
  • is thy love than wine and the smell of thine ointments than all
  • spices .
  • 411 Thy lips O my spouse drop as the honeycomb honey and milk
  • are under thy tongue and the smell of thy garments is like the
  • smell of Lebanon .
  • 412 A garden enclosed is my sister my spouse a spring shut up
  • a fountain sealed .
  • 413 Thy plants are an orchard of pomegranates with pleasant
  • fruits camphire with spikenard .
  • 414 Spikenard and saffron calamus and cinnamon with all trees
  • of frankincense myrrh and aloes with all the chief spices .
  • 415 A fountain of gardens a well of living waters and streams
  • from Lebanon .
  • 416 Awake O north wind and come thou south blow upon my garden
  • that the spices thereof may flow out Let my beloved come into
  • his garden and eat his pleasant fruits .
  • * 51 I am come into my garden my sister my spouse I have
  • gathered my myrrh with my spice I have eaten my honeycomb with
  • my honey I have drunk my wine with my milk eat O friends drink
  • yea drink abundantly O beloved .
  • 52 I sleep but my heart waketh it is the voice of my beloved
  • that knocketh saying Open to me my sister my love my dove my
  • undefiled for my head is filled with dew and my locks with the
  • drops of the night .
  • 53 I have put off my coat how shall I put it on I have washed
  • my feet how shall I defile them .
  • 54 My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door and my
  • bowels were moved for him .
  • 55 I rose up to open to my beloved and my hands dropped with
  • myrrh and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh upon the handles
  • of the lock .
  • 56 I opened to my beloved but my beloved had withdrawn himself
  • and was gone my soul failed when he spake I sought him but I
  • could not find him I called him but he gave me no answer .
  • 57 The watchmen that went about the city found me they smote
  • me they wounded me the keepers of the walls took away my veil
  • from me .
  • 58 I charge you O daughters of Jerusalem if ye find my beloved
  • that ye tell him that I am sick of love .
  • 59 What is thy beloved more than another beloved O thou
  • fairest among women what is thy beloved more than another
  • beloved that thou dost so charge us .
  • 510 My beloved is white and ruddy the chiefest among ten
  • thousand .
  • 511 His head is as the most fine gold his locks are bushy and
  • black as a raven .
  • 512 His eyes are as the eyes of doves by the rivers of waters
  • washed with milk and fitly set .
  • 513 His cheeks are as a bed of spices as sweet flowers his
  • lips like lilies dropping sweet smelling myrrh .
  • 514 His hands are as gold rings set with the beryl his belly
  • is as bright ivory overlaid with sapphires .
  • 515 His legs are as pillars of marble set upon sockets of fine
  • gold his countenance is as Lebanon excellent as the cedars .
  • 516 His mouth is most sweet yea he is altogether lovely This
  • is my beloved and this is my friend O daughters of Jerusalem .
  • * 61 Whither is thy beloved gone O thou fairest among women
  • whither is thy beloved turned aside that we may seek him with
  • thee .
  • 62 My beloved is gone down into his garden to the beds of
  • spices to feed in the gardens and to gather lilies .
  • 63 I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine he feedeth among
  • the lilies .
  • 64 Thou art beautiful O my love as Tirzah comely as Jerusalem
  • terrible as an army with banners .
  • 65 Turn away thine eyes from me for they have overcome me thy
  • hair is as a flock of goats that appear from Gilead .
  • 66 Thy teeth are as a flock of sheep which go up from the
  • washing whereof every one beareth twins and there is not one
  • barren among them .
  • 67 As a piece of a pomegranate are thy temples within thy
  • locks .
  • 68 There are threescore queens and fourscore concubines and
  • virgins without number .
  • 69 My dove my undefiled is but one she is the only one of her
  • mother she is the choice one of her that bare her The daughters
  • saw her and blessed her yea the queens and the concubines and
  • they praised her .
  • 610 Who is she that looketh forth as the morning fair as the
  • moon clear as the sun and terrible as an army with banners .
  • 611 I went down into the garden of nuts to see the fruits of
  • the valley and to see whether the vine flourished and the
  • pomegranates budded .
  • 612 Or ever I was aware my soul made me like the chariots of
  • Amminadib .
  • 613 Return return O Shulamite return return that we may look
  • upon thee What will ye see in the Shulamite As it were the
  • company of two armies .
  • * 71 How beautiful are thy feet with shoes O prince's daughter
  • the joints of thy thighs are like jewels the work of the hands
  • of a cunning workman .
  • 72 Thy navel is like a round goblet which wanteth not liquor
  • thy belly is like an heap of wheat set about with lilies .
  • 73 Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins .
  • 74 Thy neck is as a tower of ivory thine eyes like the
  • fishpools in Heshbon by the gate of Bathrabbim thy nose is as
  • the tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus .
  • 75 Thine head upon thee is like Carmel and the hair of thine
  • head like purple the king is held in the galleries .
  • 76 How fair and how pleasant art thou O love for delights .
  • 77 This thy stature is like to a palm tree and thy breasts to
  • clusters of grapes .
  • 78 I said I will go up to the palm tree I will take hold of
  • the boughs thereof now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of
  • the vine and the smell of thy nose like apples .
  • 79 And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine for my beloved
  • that goeth down sweetly causing the lips of those that are
  • asleep to speak .
  • 710 I am my beloved's and his desire is toward me .
  • 711 Come my beloved let us go forth into the field let us
  • lodge in the villages .
  • 712 Let us get up early to the vineyards let us see if the
  • vine flourish whether the tender grape appear and the
  • pomegranates bud forth there will I give thee my loves .
  • 713 The mandrakes give a smell and at our gates are all manner
  • of pleasant fruits new and old which I have laid up for thee O
  • my beloved .
  • * 81 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 .
  • 82 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 .
  • 83 His left hand should be under my head and his right hand
  • should embrace me .
  • 84 I charge you O daughters of Jerusalem that ye stir not up
  • nor awake my love until he please .
  • 85 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 .
  • 86 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
  • .
  • 87 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 .
  • 88 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 .
  • 89 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 .
  • 810 I am a wall and my breasts like towers then was I in his
  • eyes as one that found favour .
  • 811 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 .
  • 812 My vineyard which is mine is before me thou O Solomon must
  • have a thousand and those that keep the fruit thereof two
  • hundred .
  • 813 Thou that dwellest in the gardens the companions hearken
  • to thy voice cause me to hear it .
  • 814 Make haste my beloved and be thou like to a roe or to a
  • young hart upon the mountains of spices .
