1 O that H4310 H5414 thou wast as my brother, H251 that sucked H3243 the breasts H7699 of my mother H517 ! when I should find H4672 thee without, H2351 I would kiss H5401 thee; yea, H1571 I should not H3808 be despised. H936
2 I would lead H5090 thee, and bring H935 thee into H413 my mother's H517 house, H1004 who would instruct H3925 me : I would cause thee to drink H8248 of spiced H7544 wine H4480 H3196 of the juice H4480 H6071 of my pomegranate. H7416
3 His left hand H8040 should be under H8478 my head, H7218 and his right hand H3225 should embrace H2263 me.
4 I charge H7650 you , O daughters H1323 of Jerusalem, H3389 that H4100 ye stir not up, H5782 nor H4100 awake H5782 H853 my love, H160 until H5704 he please H7945 H2654 .
5 Who H4310 is this H2063 that cometh up H5927 from H4480 the wilderness, H4057 leaning H7514 upon H5921 her beloved H1730 ? I raised thee up H5782 under H8478 the apple tree: H8598 there H8033 thy mother H517 brought thee forth: H2254 there H8033 she brought thee forth H2254 that bore H3205 thee.
6 Set H7760 me as a seal H2368 upon H5921 thine heart, H3820 as a seal H2368 upon H5921 thine arm: H2220 for H3588 love H160 is strong H5794 as death; H4194 jealousy H7068 is cruel H7186 as the grave: H7585 the coals H7565 thereof are coals H7565 of fire, H784 which hath a most vehement flame. H7957
7 Many H7227 waters H4325 cannot H3808 H3201 H853 quench H3518 love, H160 neither H3808 can the floods H5104 drown H7857 it: if H518 a man H376 would give H5414 H853 all H3605 the substance H1952 of his house H1004 for love, H160 it would utterly be contemned H936 H936 .
8 We have a little H6996 sister, H269 and she hath no H369 breasts: H7699 what H4100 shall we do H6213 for our sister H269 in the day H3117 when she shall be spoken for H7945 H1696 ?
9 If H518 she H1931 be a wall, H2346 we will build H1129 upon H5921 her a palace H2918 of silver: H3701 and if H518 she H1931 be a door, H1817 we will enclose H6696 H5921 her with boards H3871 of cedar. H730
10 I H589 am a wall, H2346 and my breasts H7699 like towers: H4026 then H227 was H1961 I in his eyes H5869 as one that found H4672 favor. H7965
11 Solomon H8010 had H1961 a vineyard H3754 at Baal- H1174 hamon ; he let out H5414 H853 the vineyard H3754 unto keepers; H5201 every one H376 for the fruit H6529 thereof was to bring H935 a thousand H505 pieces of silver. H3701
12 My vineyard, H3754 which is mine, H7945 is before H6440 me: thou , O Solomon, H8010 must have a thousand, H505 and those that keep H5201 H853 the fruit H6529 thereof two hundred. H3967
13 Thou that dwellest H3427 in the gardens, H1588 the companions H2270 hearken H7181 to thy voice: H6963 cause me to hear H8085 it .
14 Make haste, H1272 my beloved, H1730 and be thou like H1819 to a roe H6643 or H176 to a young H6082 hart H354 upon H5921 the mountains H2022 of spices. H1314
