Song of Solomon

ESV

Chapter 8

¹Oh that you were like a brother to me who nursed at my mother’s breasts! If I found you outside, I would kiss you, and none would despise me. ²I would lead you and bring you into the house of my mother—she who taught me. I would give you spiced wine to drink, the juice of my pomegranate. ³His left hand is under my head, and his right hand embraces me! ⁴I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that you not stir up or awaken love until it pleases. ⁵Who is this coming up from the wilderness, leaning on her beloved? Under the apple tree I awakened you. There your mother was in labor with you; there she who bore you was in labor. ⁶Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm, for love is strong as death, jealousy is fierce as the grave. Its flashes are flashes of fire, the very flame of the LORD. ⁷Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it. If a man offered for love all the wealth of his house, he would be utterly despised. ⁸We have a little sister, and she has no breasts. What shall we do for our sister on the day when she is spoken for? ⁹If she is a wall, we will build upon her a battlement of silver, but if she is a door, we will enclose her with boards of cedar. ¹⁰I was a wall, and my breasts were like towers; then I was in his eyes as one who found peace. ¹¹Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon; he let out the vineyard to keepers. Each one was to bring for its fruit a thousand shekels of silver. ¹²My vineyard, my very own, is before me; you, O Solomon, may have the thousand, and the keepers of the fruit two hundred. ¹³O you who dwell in the gardens, with companions listening for your voice; let me hear it! ¹⁴Make haste, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of spices!
