S. S. 8:1 Oh 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.
S. S. 8:2 I would lead you [and] bring you / Into my mother's house, / Who has instructed me; / I would make you drink spiced wine / From the juice of my pomegranate.
S. S. 8:3 His left hand would be under my head, / And his right hand would embrace me.
S. S. 8:4 I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, / Do not rouse up or awaken [my] love / Until she pleases.
S. S. 8:5 Who is this who comes up from the wilderness, / Leaning on her beloved? / I awakened you under the apple tree: / There your mother was in labor with you; / There she was in labor [and] brought you forth.
S. S. 8:6 Set me as a seal on your heart, / As a seal on your arm; / For love is as strong as death, / Jealousy is as cruel as Sheol; / Its flashes are the flashes of fire, / A flame of Jehovah.
S. S. 8:7 Many waters cannot quench love, / Nor do floods drown it. / If a man gave all the substance of his house for love, / It would be utterly despised.
S. S. 8:8 We have a little sister, / And she has no breasts: / What shall we do for our sister / On the day when she is spoken for?
S. S. 8:9 If she is a wall, / We will build on her a battlement of silver; / And if she is a door, / We will enclose her with boards of cedar.
S. S. 8:10 I am a wall, and my breasts are like towers; / Then I was in his eyes like one who has found peace.
S. S. 8:11 Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon: / He let out the vineyard to keepers; / Each was to bring a thousand [shekels] of silver for its fruit.
S. S. 8:12 My vineyard, which is mine, is before me. / You will have the thousand, O Solomon; / And those who keep its fruit, two hundred.
S. S. 8:13 O you who dwell in the gardens, / [My] companions listen for your voice; / Let me hear [it.]
S. S. 8:14 Make haste, my beloved, / And be like a gazelle or a young hart / Upon the mountains of spices.
