1 The song7892 of songs,7892 which834 is Solomon's.8010
2 Let him kiss5401 me with the kisses5390 of his mouth:6310 for your love1730 is better2896 than wine.3196
3 Because of the smell7381 of your good2896 ointments8081 your name8034 is as ointment8081 poured7324 forth, therefore5921 3651 do the virgins5959 love157 you.
4 Draw4900 me, we will run7323 after310 you: the king4428 has brought935 me into his chambers:2315 we will be glad1523 and rejoice8055 in you, we will remember2142 your love1730 more than wine:3196 the upright4339 love157 you.
5 I am black,7838 but comely,5000 O you daughters1323 of Jerusalem,3389 as the tents168 of Kedar,6938 as the curtains3407 of Solomon.8010
6 Look7200 not on me, because I am black,7840 because the sun8121 has looked7805 on me: my mother's517 children1121 were angry2734 with me; they made7760 me the keeper5201 of the vineyards;3754 but my own vineyard3754 have I not kept.5201
7 Tell5046 me, O you whom my soul5315 loves,157 where349 you feed,7462 where349 you make your flock to rest7257 at noon:6672 for why4100 should I be as one that turns5844 aside5844 by the flocks5739 of your companions?2270
8 If518 you know3045 not, O you fairest3303 among women,802 go3318 your way forth3318 by the footsteps6119 of the flock,6629 and feed7462 your kids1423 beside5921 the shepherds'7462 tents.4908
9 I have compared1819 you, O my love,7474 to a company of horses5484 in Pharaoh's6547 chariots.7393
10 Your cheeks3895 are comely4998 with rows8447 of jewels,3627 your neck6677 with chains2737 of gold.
11 We will make6213 you borders8447 of gold2091 with studs5351 of silver.3701
12 While5704 the king4428 sits at his table,4524 my spikenard5373 sends5414 forth the smell7381 thereof.
13 A bundle6872 of myrrh4753 is my well-beloved1730 to me; he shall lie3885 all3885 night between996 my breasts.7699
14 My beloved1730 is to me as a cluster811 of camphire3724 in the vineyards3754 of Engedi.5872
15 Behold,2009 you are fair,3302 my love;7474 behold,2009 you are fair;3302 you have doves'3123 eyes.5869
16 Behold,2009 you are fair,3302 my beloved,157 yes,637 pleasant:5273 also637 our bed6210 is green.7488
17 The beams6982 of our house1004 are cedar,730 and our rafters7351 of fir.1266
1 I am the rose2261 of Sharon,8289 and the lily7799 of the valleys.6010
2 As the lily7799 among996 thorns,2336 so3651 is my love7474 among996 the daughters.1323
3 As the apple8598 tree6086 among the trees6086 of the wood,3293 so3651 is my beloved1730 among996 the sons.1121 I sat3427 down under his shadow6738 with great delight,2530 and his fruit6529 was sweet4966 to my taste.2441
4 He brought935 me to the banqueting3196 house,1004 and his banner1714 over5921 me was love.160
5 Stay5564 me with flagons,809 comfort7502 me with apples:8598 for I am sick2470 of love.160
6 His left8040 hand8040 is under8478 my head,7218 and his right3225 hand3225 does embrace2263 me.
7 I charge7650 you, O you daughters1323 of Jerusalem,3389 by the roes,6643 and by the hinds355 of the field,7704 that you stir5782 not up, nor518 awake5782 my love,160 till5704 he please.2654
8 The voice6963 of my beloved!1730 behold,2009 he comes935 leaping1801 on the mountains,2022 skipping7092 on the hills.1389
9 My beloved1730 is like1819 a roe6643 or176 a young6082 hart:354 behold,2009 he stands5975 behind310 our wall,3796 he looks7688 forth at4480 the windows,2474 showing6692 himself through4480 the lattice.2762
10 My beloved1730 spoke,6030 and said559 to me, Rise6965 up, my love,7474 my fair3302 one, and come3212 away.
11 For, see,2009 the winter5638 is past,5674 the rain1653 is over2498 and gone;1980
12 The flowers5339 appear7200 on the earth;776 the time6256 of the singing2158 of birds is come,5060 and the voice6963 of the turtle8449 is heard8085 in our land;776
13 The fig8384 tree puts2590 forth2590 her green6291 figs,6291 and the vines1612 with the tender grape5563 give5414 a good smell.7381 Arise,6965 my love,7474 my fair3302 one, and come3212 away.
14 O my dove,3123 that are in the clefts2288 of the rock,5553 in the secret5643 places of the stairs,4095 let me see7200 your countenance,4758 let me hear8085 your voice;6963 for sweet6149 is your voice,6963 and your countenance4758 is comely.5000
15 Take270 us the foxes,7776 the little6996 foxes,7776 that spoil2254 the vines:3754 for our vines3754 have tender grapes.5563
16 My beloved1730 is mine, and I am his: he feeds7462 among the lilies.7799
17 Until5704 the day3117 break,6315 and the shadows6752 flee5127 away, turn,5437 my beloved,1730 and be you like1819 a roe6643 or176 a young6082 hart354 on the mountains2022 of Bether.1336
1 By night3915 on5921 my bed4904 I sought1245 him whom my soul5315 loves:157 I sought1245 him, but I found4672 him not.
2 I will rise6965 now,4994 and go5437 about5437 the city5892 in the streets,7784 and in the broad7339 ways7339 I will seek1245 him whom my soul5315 loves:157 I sought1245 him, but I found4672 him not.
3 The watchmen8104 that go5437 about5437 the city5892 found4672 me: to whom I said, Saw7200 you him whom853 my soul5315 loves?157
4 It was but a little4592 that I passed5674 from them, but I found4672 him whom my soul5315 loves:157 I held270 him, and would not let him go,7503 until5704 I had brought935 him into413 my mother's517 house,1004 and into413 the chamber2315 of her that conceived2029 me.
5 I charge7650 you, O you daughters1323 of Jerusalem,3389 by the roes,6643 and by the hinds355 of the field,7704 that you stir5782 not up, nor518 awake5782 my love,160 till5704 he please.2654
6 Who4310 is this2063 that comes5927 out of the wilderness4057 like pillars8490 of smoke,6227 perfumed6999 with myrrh4753 and frankincense,3828 with all3605 powders81 of the merchant?7402
7 Behold2009 his bed,4296 which is Solomon's;8010 three score7657 valiant1368 men are about5439 it, of the valiant1368 of Israel.3478
8 They all3605 hold270 swords,2719 being expert3925 in war:4421 every man376 has his sword2719 on his thigh3409 because of fear6343 in the night.3915
9 King4428 Solomon8010 made6213 himself a chariot668 of the wood6086 of Lebanon.3844
10 He made6213 the pillars5982 thereof of silver,3701 the bottom7507 thereof of gold,2091 the covering4817 of it of purple,713 the middle8432 thereof being paved7528 with love,160 for the daughters1323 of Jerusalem.3389
11 Go3318 forth,3318 O you daughters1323 of Zion,6726 and behold7200 king4428 Solomon8010 with the crown5850 with which his mother517 crowned5849 him in the day3117 of his espousals,2861 and in the day3117 of the gladness8057 of his heart.3820
1 Behold,2009 you are fair,3302 my love;7474 behold,2009 you are fair;3302 you have doves'3123 eyes5869 within1157 your locks:6777 your hair8181 is as a flock5739 of goats,5795 that appear1570 from mount2022 Gilead.1568
2 Your teeth8127 are like a flock5739 of sheep that are even shorn,7094 which came5927 up from the washing;7367 whereof every3605 one bear8382 twins,8382 and none369 is barren7909 among them.
3 Your lips8193 are like a thread2339 of scarlet,8144 and your speech4057 is comely:5000 your temples7541 are like a piece6400 of a pomegranate7416 within1157 your locks.6777
4 Your neck6677 is like the tower4026 of David1732 built1129 for an armory,8530 where on5921 there hang8518 a thousand505 bucklers,4043 all3605 shields7982 of mighty1368 men.
5 Your two8147 breasts7699 are like two8147 young6082 roes6646 that are twins,8380 which feed7462 among the lilies.7799
6 Until5704 the day3117 break,6315 and the shadows6752 flee5127 away, I will get3212 me to the mountain2022 of myrrh,4753 and to the hill1389 of frankincense.3828
7 You are all3605 fair,3302 my love;7474 there is no369 spot3971 in you.
8 Come935 with me from Lebanon,3844 my spouse,3618 with me from Lebanon:3844 look7789 from the top7218 of Amana,549 from the top7218 of Shenir8149 and Hermon,2768 from the lions'738 dens,4585 from the mountains2042 of the leopards.5246
9 You have ravished3823 my heart,3823 my sister,269 my spouse;3618 you have ravished3823 my heart3823 with one259 of your eyes,5869 with one259 chain6060 of your neck.6677
10 How4100 fair3302 is your love,1730 my sister,269 my spouse!3618 how4100 much better2896 is your love1730 than wine!3196 and the smell7381 of your ointments8081 than all3605 spices!1314
11 Your lips,8193 O my spouse,3618 drop5197 as the honeycomb:5317 honey1706 and milk2461 are under8478 your tongue;3956 and the smell7381 of your garments8008 is like the smell7381 of Lebanon.3844
12 A garden1588 enclosed5274 is my sister,269 my spouse;3618 a spring1530 shut5274 up, a fountain4599 sealed.2856
13 Your plants7973 are an orchard6508 of pomegranates,7416 with pleasant4022 fruits;6529 camphire,3724 with spikenard,5373
14 Spikenard5373 and saffron;3750 calamus7070 and cinnamon,7076 with all3605 trees6086 of frankincense;3828 myrrh4753 and aloes,174 with all3605 the chief7218 spices:1314
15 A fountain4599 of gardens,1588 a well875 of living2416 waters,4325 and streams5140 from Lebanon.3844
16 Awake,5782 O north6828 wind; and come,935 you south;8486 blow6315 on my garden,1588 that the spices1314 thereof may flow5140 out. Let my beloved1730 come935 into his garden,1588 and eat398 his pleasant4022 fruits.6529
1 I am come935 into my garden,1588 my sister,269 my spouse:3618 I have gathered717 my myrrh4753 with my spice;1313 I have eaten398 my honeycomb3293 with my honey;1706 I have drunk8354 my wine3196 with my milk:2461 eat,398 O friends;7453 drink,8354 yes, drink7937 abundantly,7937 O beloved.1730
2 I sleep,3463 but my heart3820 wakes:5782 it is the voice6963 of my beloved1730 that knocks,1849 saying, Open6605 to me, my sister,269 my love,7474 my dove,3123 my undefiled:8535 for my head7218 is filled4390 with dew,2919 and my locks6977 with the drops7447 of the night.3915
3 I have put6584 off my coat;3801 how349 shall I put3847 it on? I have washed7364 my feet;7272 how349 shall I defile2936 them?
4 My beloved1730 put7971 in his hand3027 by the hole2356 of the door, and my bowels4578 were moved1993 for him.
5 I rose6965 up to open6605 to my beloved;1730 and my hands3027 dropped5197 with myrrh,4753 and my fingers676 with sweet5674 smelling5674 myrrh,4753 on the handles3709 of the lock.4514
6 I opened6605 to my beloved;1730 but my beloved1730 had withdrawn2559 himself, and was gone:5674 my soul5315 failed3318 when he spoke:1696 I sought1245 him, but I could not find4672 him; I called7121 him, but he gave me no3808 answer.6030
7 The watchmen8104 that went5437 about5437 the city5892 found4672 me, they smote5221 me, they wounded6481 me; the keepers8104 of the walls2346 took5375 away my veil7289 from me.
8 I charge7650 you, O daughters1323 of Jerusalem,3389 if518 you find4672 my beloved,1730 that you tell5046 him, that I am sick2470 of love.160
9 What4100 is your beloved1730 more than another beloved,1730 O you fairest3303 among women?802 what4100 is your beloved1730 more than another beloved,1730 that you do so3602 charge7650 us?
10 My beloved1730 is white6703 and ruddy,122 the most chief1713 among ten7233 thousand.7233
11 His head7218 is as the most3800 fine gold,6337 his locks6977 are bushy,8534 and black7838 as a raven.6158
12 His eyes5869 are as the eyes of doves3123 by the rivers650 of waters,4325 washed7364 with milk,2461 and fitly5921 4402 set.3427
13 His cheeks3895 are as a bed6170 of spices,1314 as sweet4840 flowers:4026 his lips8193 like lilies,7799 dropping5197 sweet5674 smelling5674 myrrh.4753
14 His hands3027 are as gold2091 rings1550 set4390 with the beryl:8658 his belly4578 is as bright6247 ivory8127 overlaid5968 with sapphires.5601
15 His legs7785 are as pillars5982 of marble,8336 set3245 on sockets134 of fine gold:6337 his countenance4758 is as Lebanon,3844 excellent977 as the cedars.730
16 His mouth2441 is most sweet:4477 yes, he is altogether3605 lovely.4261 This2088 is my beloved,1730 and this2088 is my friend,7453 O daughters1323 of Jerusalem.3389
1 Where575 is your beloved1730 gone,1980 O you fairest3303 among women?802 where575 is your beloved1730 turned6437 aside?6437 that we may seek1245 him with you.
2 My beloved1730 is gone3381 down3381 into his garden,1588 to the beds6170 of spices,1314 to feed7462 in the gardens,1588 and to gather3950 lilies.7799
3 I am my beloved's,1730 and my beloved1730 is mine: he feeds7462 among the lilies.7799
4 You are beautiful,3303 O my love,7474 as Tirzah,8656 comely5000 as Jerusalem,3389 terrible366 as an army with banners.1713
5 Turn5437 away your eyes5869 from me, for they have overcome7292 me: your hair8181 is as a flock5739 of goats5795 that appear1570 from Gilead.1568
6 Your teeth8127 are as a flock5739 of sheep7353 which go5927 up from the washing,7367 whereof every3605 one259 bears8382 twins,8382 and there is not one259 barren7909 among them.
7 As a piece6400 of a pomegranate7416 are your temples7541 within1157 your locks.6777
8 There are three score7657 queens,4436 and fourscore8084 concubines,6370 and virgins5959 without369 number.4557
9 My dove,3123 my undefiled8535 is but one;259 she is the only one259 of her mother,517 she is the choice1249 one259 of her that bore3205 her. The daughters1323 saw7200 her, and blessed833 her; yes, the queens4436 and the concubines,6370 and they praised1984 her.
10 Who4310 is she that looks8259 forth as the morning,7837 fair3303 as the moon,3842 clear1249 as the sun,2535 and terrible366 as an army with banners?1713
11 I went3381 down3381 into413 the garden1594 of nuts93 to see7200 the fruits3 of the valley,5158 and to see7200 whether the vine1612 flourished 6524and the pomegranates7416 budded.5132
12 Or ever3808 I was aware,3045 my soul5315 made7760 me like the chariots4818 of Amminadib.5993
13 Return,7725 return,7725 O Shulamite;7759 return,7725 return,7725 that we may look2372 on you. What4100 will you see2372 in the Shulamite?7759 As it were the company4246 of two armies.4264
1 How4100 beautiful3303 are your feet6471 with shoes,5275 O prince's5081 daughter!1323 the joints2542 of your thighs3409 are like3644 jewels,2484 the work4639 of the hands3027 of a cunning542 workman.542
2 Your navel8326 is like a round5469 goblet,101 which wants2637 not liquor:4197 your belly990 is like an heap6194 of wheat2406 set5473 about5473 with lilies.7799
3 Your two8147 breasts7699 are like two8147 young6082 roes6646 that are twins.8380
4 Your neck6677 is as a tower4026 of ivory;8127 your eyes5869 like the fish pools1295 in Heshbon,2809 by the gate8179 of Bathrabbim:1337 your nose639 is as the tower4026 of Lebanon3844 which looks6822 toward Damascus.1834
5 Your head7218 on you is like Carmel,3760 and the hair1803 of your head7218 like purple;713 the king4428 is held631 in the galleries.7298
6 How4100 fair3302 and how4100 pleasant5276 are you, O love,160 for delights!8588
7 This2063 your stature6967 is like1819 to a palm8558 tree, and your breasts7699 to clusters811 of grapes.
8 I said,559 I will go5927 up to the palm8558 tree, I will take270 hold270 of the boughs5577 thereof: now4994 also your breasts7699 shall be as clusters811 of the vine,1612 and the smell7381 of your nose639 like apples;8598
9 And the roof2441 of your mouth2441 like the best2896 wine3196 for my beloved,1730 that goes1980 down sweetly,4339 causing the lips8193 of those that are asleep3463 to speak.1680
10 I am my beloved's,1730 and his desire8669 is toward5921 me.
11 Come,3212 my beloved,1730 let us go3318 forth3318 into the field;7704 let us lodge3885 in the villages.3723
12 Let us get up early7925 to the vineyards;3754 let us see7200 if518 the vine1612 flourish,6524 whether the tender grape5563 appear,6524 and the pomegranates7416 bud5132 forth:5132 there will I give5414 you my loves.1730
13 The mandrakes1736 give5414 a smell,7381 and at5921 our gates6607 are all3605 manner of pleasant4022 fruits, new2319 and old,3465 which I have laid6845 up for you, O my beloved.1730
1 O that you were as my brother,251 that sucked3243 the breasts7699 of my mother!517 when I should find4672 you without,2351 I would kiss5401 you; yes,1571 I should not be despised.937
2 I would lead5090 you, and bring935 you into413 my mother's517 house,1004 who would instruct3925 me: I would cause you to drink8248 of spiced7544 wine3196 of the juice6071 of my pomegranate.7416
3 His left8040 hand8040 should be under8478 my head,7218 and his right3225 hand3225 should embrace2263 me.
4 I charge7650 you, O daughters1323 of Jerusalem,3389 that you stir5782 not up, nor awake5782 my love,160 until5704 he please.2654
5 Who4310 is this2063 that comes5927 up from the wilderness,4057 leaning7514 on her beloved?1730 I raised5782 you up under8478 the apple8598 tree: there your mother517 brought2254 you forth:2254 there she brought2254 you forth2254 that bore3205 you.
6 Set7760 me as a seal2368 on your heart,3820 as a seal2368 on your arm:2220 for love160 is strong5794 as death;4194 jealousy7068 is cruel as the grave:7585 the coals7565 thereof are coals7565 of fire,784 which has a most vehement3050 flame.7957
7 Many7227 waters4325 cannot3808 3201 quench3518 love,160 neither3808 can the floods5104 drown7857 it: if518 a man376 would give5414 all3605 the substance1952 of his house1004 for love,160 it would utterly be contemned.936
8 We have a little6996 sister,269 and she has no369 breasts:7699 what4100 shall we do6213 for our sister269 in the day3117 when she shall be spoken1696 for?
9 If518 she be a wall,2346 we will build1129 on her a palace2918 of silver:3701 and if518 she be a door,1817 we will enclose6696 her with boards3871 of cedar.730
10 I am a wall,2346 and my breasts7699 like towers:4026 then227 was I in his eyes5869 as one that found4672 favor.7965
11 Solomon8010 had a vineyard3754 at Baalhamon;1174 he let5414 out the vineyard3754 to keepers;5201 every376 one376 for the fruit6529 thereof was to bring935 a thousand505 pieces of silver.3701
12 My vineyard,3754 which is mine, is before6440 me: you, O Solomon,8010 must have a thousand,505 and those that keep5201 the fruit6529 thereof two hundred.3967
13 You that dwell3427 in the gardens,1588 the companions2270 listen7181 to your voice:6963 cause me to hear8085 it.
14 Make haste,1272 my beloved,1730 and be you like1819 to a roe6643 or176 to a young6082 hart354 on the mountains2022 of spices.1314
